SAME is Inviting Fellows to Share Personal Vignettes in Honor of the 30th Anniversary of the Academy of Fellows in 2025.
In celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the founding of the Academy of Fellows in 1995, SAME is encouraging Fellows to share their unique and inspiring stories, anecdotes, or advice with the Society. With the pearl as the representative gem for honoring 30th anniversaries, SAME found it a fitting symbol to present vignettes of the Fellows and their invaluable experience and influence on the industry to encourage other members to become more engaged within SAME.
The Pearls of Wisdom will be gathered and presented at events throughout the year. The quotes, videos, and testimonials will serve as inspiration and insight to our membership and to the community at large. The lifeblood of SAME lies in its mentors and professionals who selflessly give their time and efforts to pay it forward to the next generation. If you would like to contribute to the Pearls of Wisdom in celebration of the Academy of Fellows 30th Anniversary, please follow the link below for more information.
