Make your voice heard! The Annual Meeting is the ideal setting to express ideas. Is there a nuclear technology you think deserves greater recognition? Are there approaches to nuclear advocacy that you think would help reach a greater audience? Are there technical standards you believe should be developed to expedite the deployment of a specific nuclear technology? ANS encourages its members to express creative and new ideas to address the nuclear industry's challenges. Expressing your thoughts at events like ANS Annual will get you the attention of some of the most influential people in our industry. Great ideas are not meant to be kept to ourselves. Successful implementation of ideas requires support from your fellow colleagues. Feedback received can enable you to craft a stronger message or possibly lead you to developing new and better ideas. Now is the chance to get your idea out there and to make a name for yourself. Wayne Gretzky said it best, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
It's no secret that the nuclear industry faces many difficult challenges today. Meeting these challenges not only requires one to be informed with the most up-to-date knowledge on the most important topics, but it also requires expressing bold and creative ideas while receiving constructive feedback. ANS Meetings are the ideal setting to express these ideas while enhancing your career. Nobody else can make your idea a reality except you. Take the initiative, break from your everyday routine, and register for the ANS Annual Meeting today.
