Day Two of the 2025 Joint Engineer Training Conference & Expo built upon the discussions from the opening day as attendees continued to foster the relationships needed to tackle the pressing issues facing our warfighters and our nation’s infrastructure. The feature panel of senior leaders at the morning’s General Session, sponsored by JETC’s Titanium Sponsors, provided a crucial platform for industry-government collaboration at the highest levels and offered attendees valuable insights as the engineering services move ahead quickly to become more nimble and more innovative. Day Two’s General Session at the 2025 JETC featured the swearing-in of Mike Huffstetler, Assoc. AIA, LEED AP, F.SAME, as the 106th National President of SAME. Outgoing president Sharon Krock, SWPS, F.SAME, administered the oath of office, officially commencing his term as the next National President. In his introductory remarks, he shared his vision for the coming year and his stated theme to “Build the Bond”: the 105-year bond forged by SAME between industry and government in support of national security. To fulfill this, he outlined his three priorities for the Society: first, meeting government and industry at the point of need; second, optimizing our impact and focusing on speed, relevance, and results; and third, fueling our profession by boosting the talent pool through the Society’s high-octane programs.
