Institutes Session Objectives
We will answer the following questions in
this session:
• What is An Institute?
• Overview of Existing Institutes
– Who are they?
– What do they do?
– How are they different from other sectors?
• What is the Institute Sector Board (ISB)?
• Should your group consider becoming an
Institute?
Institutes – Who We Are
•
•
•
•
ASME members & volunteers
Dedicated ASME staff
Governed by ASME Policies 16.3 & 16.4
Institutes operate independently but still
work towards the ASME mission through
all their programs
• IGTI & IPTI both strive to serve and
expand their core markets while continually
promoting ASME and its benefits.
IPTI Staff
IPTI Board
Institute boards strive to be strategic rather than
tactical, since tactics are delegated to operating
committees & staff.

Institutes Sector Board (ISB)
VISION
Grow and improve ASME’s Institutes
MISSION
Provide the organizational and
strategic linkages that enable ASME
Institutes to succeed.
ISB Membership
The ISB consists of leaders from across the
Institutes Sector:
• Senior VP
• Senior VP Elect (non-voting)
• VP from each Institute (IGTI, IPTI)
• Chair from each Institute’s Board
• Vice Chair from Each Institute (non-voting)
• Sector Managing Director (non-voting)
• Lead staff from each Institute (non-voting)
• LDI/Eclipse Intern (non-voting).
ISB Key Objectives
• Serve as communication link to and from
the ASME BoG
• Share best practices among the Institutes
and other ASME Sectors
• Facilitate communications and awareness
with other ASME Sectors
• Facilitate the development of new institutes
• Recommend mergers and/or acquisitions of
outside organizations to become Institutes
of ASME.
Types of Institute Structures
• Market specific group, similar to a Division
but focused on all aspects of that
marketplace (e.g., IGTI)
• Umbrella group focused on a broader
industry, made up of multiple Divisions
(e.g., IPTI)
• Other types of arrangements are possible,
since the Institutes model is flexible; does
anyone in the audience have any ideas?
Overview of IGTI & IPTI Events
• The next several slides will provide more
detailed information on IGTI and IPTI, to
serve as examples for what kinds of events
and activities are commonly created and
supported by the current Institutes

IPTI
IPTI is composed of three separate divisions:
• Petroleum Division (PD)
• Offshore, Ocean and Arctic Engineering
Division (OOAE)
• Pipeline Systems Division (PSD)
These divisions work separately and together on
new and existing programs. Over 16,000 ASME
members are affiliated with IPTI.

How Institutes Differ From Divisions
Institutes typically:
• Have paid dedicated staff
• Pay for their own offices
• Budgets approved by COFI
• Strategic, market-focused volunteer Boards
• Significant reserves in custodial fund
• Generally, conduct a wider range of activities.
How Institutes Are Similar to Divisions
•
•
•
•
We are all part of ASME
Driven by active volunteers
Focus on technical areas
Conduct conferences, do peer review, author
publications and journals
• Want to grow their units and help ASME grow in
revenue, membership, and member benefits.
How Institutes Benefit ASME
• Provide focus on specific industries and their
specific member needs
• Allows for more volunteer involvement
• Dedicated staff in combination with active
volunteers means more successful events
• Can be self-sufficient, self-guided, and financially
stable, thus reducing parent management
• Can provide intellectual property and technical
resources to parent
• Provides an opportunity for larger and more
diverse membership.
ASME Policy 16.3 Requirements (handout)
An ASME Institute:
• Must have annual gross revenue > $1 MM
• Must generate a surplus, net of all business and operational
costs, including reimbursement of ASME administrative and
overhead costs
• Must have a governing Board
• Must have a charter approved by the ISB & BOG
• Must have suitable vision and mission statements
• Must have dedicated staff and volunteers to direct its
activities in accordance with ASME operating procedures.
Potential Future Institutes
• Existing ASME Divisions, but also…
• Many smaller Mechanical Engineering
societies:
– Specific Industry Segment
– Geographic Area
– Member Demographics
• Even more candidate Engineering/Scientific
societies.
Discussion – Is My Group a Candidate to
Become an Institute Now?
• Does anyone in the audience have any ideas on
forming a new institute?
• To proceed, present your ideas and/or proposals
to the ISB, they will discuss this with you and
your group leadership (contact info on last slide)
• Assistance can be provided to create a business
plan with organizing volunteers and staff from
Institutes.
