Welcome to Virgil Carter
It’s my pleasure to introduce a new guest blogger here at Acronym. Virgil Carter is the executive director of ASME in New York City. Founded in 1880 as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME is a 120,000-member professional organization with a focus on the technical, educational, and research issues of the engineering and technology community.
Virgil comes to Acronym with a great depth of experience as an association leader. He is a past chair of ASAE & The Center’s Executive Management Section Council and served as a member of the Environmental Scan Task Force, among numerous other professional accomplishments.
I’m looking forward to the thoughts he has to share with us about leadership, management, and life as an association executive. Welcome, Virgil!

I came across your statement regarding your association's sunset policy on the ASAE site. Our board would like me to develop a sunset policy (and we would need a sunrise policy as well). Their intention is to begin to develop a culture in the organization where it is expected that activities come and go based upon priorities and resources. We know easier said than done. I'd be very interested in your templates and more importantly your reflections on what did and didn't work. Private email response is welcome. Thank you!
