  1. At my briefing to Col Press, he suggested we invite our HS students to join SAME (There is such an option for them).  We could emphasize the need to join organizations and the benefit for students to become known to the Member participants (internships, etc.) see link STUDENT APPLICATION 

     

If we want to get High School students interested in joining SAME, the Student Chapter (?) POST would need to prove to the HS students that there would be VALUE in it for them to join, needs to be exciting.
