World Congress offers an opportunity for those of us in the auto
industry to share insights on technological advancements and trends
for a changing global industry," said Tim Yerdon, director, Visteon
global innovation. "As a company rich in innovation and thought
leadership, Visteon is pleased to share what we've learned with our
engineering colleagues to help move the industry forward, while
benefiting from their knowledge as well. "The number of Visteon
employees who have dedicated their time and passion to this event
-- both directly and indirectly -- is impressive and reflects the
breadth of our automotive expertise," Yerdon added. Joe LaRussa, a
Visteon program manager, is one of nine Visteon experts who have
organized and will lead technical sessions at the SAE World
Congress. LaRussa, who is organizing the Management and Leadership
in Engineering and Manufacturing Organizations session, said he
volunteered for the role after attending last year's Congress. He
has dedicated a considerable amount of time over the past year to
ensure the session is a success. The responsibilities of a
technical session organizer are all-encompassing. The role entails
soliciting authors for the papers, establishing a review committee,
facilitating feedback to the authors, reviewing presentations and
then finally, giving welcoming remarks the day of the session and
introducing the presenters. LaRussa started soliciting abstracts
for the session nearly a year ago. He noted that serving as a
session chair is not only a great way to make business contacts,
but also to expand one's knowledge base and area of expertise --
"especially if you've always focused on engineering." The
Management and Leadership in Engineering and Manufacturing
Organizations session will take place at 9 a.m. Wednesday, April
16, in room W1-52. This half-day session will focus on unique
circumstances and issues in the automotive industry that can drive
leadership development and management skill. Other Visteon
