#SAMETBT Telling the story of the 2020 JETC is really telling the story of how SAME, its members, and staff adapted and then thrived in the face of a historic obstacle. What was supposed to serve as SAME’s Centennial Celebration, instead, because of the coronavirus pandemic in spring 2020, led to the first-ever Virtual JETC and a host of unexpected changes within the organization. While this all pales to the life-saving work of thousands in the medical fields and their heroic actions, for SAME it was a turning point still to remember. This period of about 45 days, and then over the next year and a half, would set the Society on a momentum-filled path into its second century—and on a path to where we are today as a professional engineering association focused on industry-government engagement and developing people, driving partnerships, and delivering solutions through our mission of leading collaboration.
