R. Keith Michel, President of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, commented today on the 2009 SNAME Annual Meeting and Expo. "In all aspects, the 2009 SNAME Annual Meeting was a resounding success,” Michel declared. “I would like to express my sincere appreciation to those who attended the meeting, the many SNAME volunteers who organized the technical programs and social events, the meeting sponsors, and those that exhibited at our EXPO. We look to build on this success, and promise an exciting and stimulating meeting in Belleview/Seattle in 2010."
