A. E. on March 24 and 25.

This establishment of policies is the outcome of several months of discussion on the part of the chapters and the national officers. The outstanding feature of the new recommended service policy is the proposed employment of several field secretaries, whose duties shall be to develop the employment service, organize new units and serve old units, and to facilitate cooperation between the various chapters, clubs, and assemblies. Chief among service features of A. A. E.

is the employment service which, although It established an enviable record of accomplishment In 1921 when notice of 5,164 positions open were sent to members and 2,751 members placed in positions, has only begun to grow. The new plan of the Board calls for greatly ex- tending the employment service to make it more comprehensive and or- ganizing it so that the benefits ac- orulng may be more available for members residing at considerable distance from Chicago. It Is proposed through the field secretaries and the national organization to make a determined effort to render special service to large groups, such as railroad, federal, practicing, and engineers in public service. The funds for this special service to groups are to be derived from fees and dues received from the entire membership. To the end that this Improved service may be accomplished at as early a date as possible, the National Executive Committee wa3 directed to submit a budget for the coming year contemplating such extended and Improved service and that the National Board of Directors submit such a plan to the annual convention.

Proposed amendments were endorsed favoring the establishment of several departments to serve groups of engineers which represent any considerable percentage of the membership, provided such departments are placed under the supervision of the National Board of Directors.
