Diana Blank attends Centennial SAE
Automotive Engineering World Congress
The Society of Automotive
Engineers has played a vital role
in the development of the mobili-
ty industry since 1906. Diana
Blank, Executive Director of the
Cuero Development Corporation,
recently attended the Centennial
SAE Automotive Engineering
World Congress in Detroit to
meet with automotive vendors
and seek out industry prospects.
In the early 1900s, there were
dozens of automobile manufac-
turers in the United States and
numerous others in countries
around the globe. A need for
patent protection, common tech-
nical design problems and the
development of engineering stan-
dards was quickly emerging,
however, and many engineering
the automobile business
expressed a desire to have "free
exchange of ideas" in order to
expand their individual technical
knowledge base.
Each year, for five days, more
than 36,000 professionals from
operations, engineering and sup-
plier community assemble at the
SAE World Congress. This year's
SAE World Congress commemo-
rated the Society's 100th
anniversary and a century worth
of transportation events, people,
and technological advancements
that have helped to shape the
world.
The March/April issue of the
Texas Department of
Agriculture, Texas Yest newslet-
ter features an article titled
"Rural Texas: Where Youth and
Wisdom Reside" highlighting
young leaders in Texas.
Executive Director of the Cuero
Development Corporation Diana
Blank was recognized. The arti-
cle states, "In the smallest towns
in Texas today you'll find great
treasures-where youth and wis-
dom reside. Communities 'on the
grow' are defying the odds by tar-
geting tourism and economic
development efforts at two differ-
ent generations that are separat-
ed by years but not dreams.
Attracting and retaining young
business leaders and seasoned
citizens can create exponential
economic returns."
The purpose of the Texas Yes!
program is to get everyone to say
"Yes!" to rural Texas and is
designed by Agriculture
Commissioner, Susan Combs to
spread the word loud and clear.
Texas Yes! program member-
ship is open to cities, non-profit
organizations, associations and
businesses located in rural areas
of the state. Associate member-
ship is also offered to entities
that help support and promote
rural Texas, such as publications
and travel associations.

Yes! program, visit www u»m.
