Recently, the CAD Society experienced a little bit of a rebound: with a vitalized strategy from president Mike McGrath, and VP, Tom Lazear, the Society decided to revive itself as a cross-industry organization that will tackle both the positives, and the negatives, of the industry as a much stronger voice and organization.
The CAD Society is looking for new members, ones who want to benefit from a range of discounts available to members, including hardware discounts from HP, software discounts from Archway Systems, and training from companies such as i.get.it. Members only gain access to about 13 discounts currently on offer - an offering that is set to rise across the coming months.
As for what else? The CAD Society is going to issue a newsletter, a job forum eventually, as well as forums, networking, and ultimately a program for mentoring engineers and an intern connection program. In addition, the CAD Society will be issuing its opinions on industry issues, to help clarify positions and questions that matter to everyone in the industry.
This is all relevant, important to the market and, as importantly, is CAD-agnostic. Sometimes a cross-industry voice is as important as any CAD-focused group.
So join up now. It costs $40 for individuals and $20 for students. (www.cadsociety.org)
