 Hi, I'm Tom Constable, Executive Director and CEO of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Many years ago, I chose to become an engineer because I believed in the power of technology to make life better. Engineers are problem solvers. Every way you look, in ways large and small, engineers apply their creativity to make the world cleaner, safer, more productive, and more sustainable. At ASME, that is our mission and our driving force. Today, when climate change, poor sanitation, disease, and among many other critical issues pose an urgent threat to billions around the world, engineers are providing powerful new solutions to humanity's most pressing needs. Now more than ever, the world needs more people who can think like engineers. Men and especially women, from every background and geography, with the multidisciplinary training to improve the quality of life in the undeserved communities around the world. In 2015, the United Nations established a framework for this work called the Sustainable Development Goals, 17 of the most serious problems standing in the way of human progress. ASME is answering the call to action with a suite of programs that we call Engineering Global Development. In fact, ASME jumped in early, even before the UN SDGs were formalized. For the past decade, we've been working to advance progress against these goals. And while we've enjoyed considerable success, there remains much more to do. ASME's Engineering Global Development programs are modeled on three core pillars. The first is our Engineering for Change, also known as E4C, digital platform and community of more than one million users around the world who share ideas and find common causes. It's a fantastic starting point for those who want to learn and contribute virtually. For practitioners who want to get deeper into the global development space, we offer Engineering for Change fellowships. You can learn more about E4C fellowships at our website, engineering4change.org. The second pillar of Engineering Global Development programs is Social Entrepreneurships. Our Innovation Showcase, or iShow, provides mentoring, business advice and seed funding to social innovation startups across the globe and scales new hardware from prototype to market-ready product. Over the past five years, iShow has helped over 150 startups expedite time to market for their products that have positive social and environmental impact. And the third pillar of our programs is Knowledge Sharing. We partner with our sister societies to present the annual Impact Engineering Conference, where we convene our communities, recognize the achievements of the social innovators and highlight their achievements. We also steward research in Engineering for Global Development through our research forum, research papers, and global seminar series. There's never been a more exciting time to be an engineer. With so many urgent challenges, engineers are leading the way to a better future for all of us. Whether you're a student, an aspiring entrepreneur, a working professional, or even a retired engineer, there are so many ways to get involved and make a positive impact. Our job at ASME is to help engineers build that better future. I invite you to join us as we advance engineering for the benefit of humanity. I thank each of you and good luck.
