Message from the President
Greetings,
It is my privilege to begin serving as the President of Scott Field Post starting January, 2025. I would like to thank the outgoing SAME SFP President, Michelle French, for her guidance and leadership, and hope that I can do as well and continue the goals and future of SAME SFP and to stay a successful and strong organization.
Scott Field Post of the Society of American Military Engineers is based in proximity to Scott Air Force base, and our Post’s membership of military, civil service and contractor professionals share the SAME values of Integrity, Patriotism Public Service, National Security, Technical Competence, Excellence, and Environmental Stewardship.
More importantly, we are committed to the National SAME mission of promoting engineering support for national security. Our Post strives to be the premier engineering organization leading the professional and personal growth of all members. Toward that end, we are constantly striving to improve these growth opportunities in order to advance our preparedness for the military readiness and security challenges facing our Nation.
We conduct monthly meetings and events and are always looking for new members that support our goals, promote our values, and help us grow as a Post and Society. Through the SAME and SAME Foundation mission, we strive to invest in the future of our professions by encouraging interested students to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education opportunities and careers. Come join us at our next meeting and learn more about the exciting challenges our members are solving for our country.
I will close by thanking all of you for being current SAME members and look forward to working and meeting all of you. I am also very excited to work with our incoming Board of Directors, Tiffany Hill, Chris Mathews, Beth Cherry and Haley Coons. There are so many others who are critical to the success of SAME SFP, and your help and commitment are truly appreciated.
For our current members, your support is extremely valued, and we are constantly searching for ways to improve. If you are interested in learning more about how to get involved in SAME and our committees and activities or have any suggestions or thoughts on ways to elevate the organization, always feel free to reach out to me at jay.shastri@introba.com
