Families of Autism Recognized by Reliability and Maintenance Industry
For Immediate Release –
April 2, 2009 – Naperville, Illinois and Old Saybrook, Connecticut
What do you do after winning the first two independent book awards in your industry? SUCCESS by DESIGN has partnered with a national autism organization to host a publishing party where ALL proceeds go to the autism society (to be announced in May, 2009) and the Autism Society of Illinois (http://www.autismillinois.org), a local chapter who will be working with us and handling incoming funds for the event. The event is planned for next April, 2010 – Autism Awareness Month.
It started out as a need to throw a party over the book awards this summer with friends, family, and associates that happen to have children or relatives with Autism. An idea sprung that we can give back to the community in a special way, as well as bring public awareness to the Reliability and Maintenance industry, an active effort by SUCCESS by DESIGN, and over the past month we have been planning, working up volunteers, discussing opportunities with potential sponsors and working out all of the details necessary for such an event.
The ink is still drying on many of the agreements and a few details are still being ironed out. However, because this is World Autism Awareness Day, we made the decision to pull the trigger a little early to bring awareness of this upcoming event. The concept is simple: The silent industry supports the silent children of autism. The RME&E industry is not a high profile industry, yet is valued at over $1.2 Trillion with opportunities for cost reduction of approximately $750 Billion. Yet we chose to enter the industry where we are silent. However, the children of autism do not get to make that choice. So, the RME&E industry raises its voice in support of those children.
We selected the national autism organization and the local organization, Autism Society of Illinois, for a very specific reason: while almost all of the Autism societies do great and worthy work, both organizations deal with the front lines throughout North America, bringing resources directly to those that need it. How fitting for an industry that deals with the issues on the front lines.
Starting April 1, 2009, a percentage of the proceeds for both award winning books: ¬¬Bronze Axiom Business Book Award ¬“Physical Asset Management for the Executive” and ForeWord Book of the Year Finalist, ”Electrical Motor Diagnostics: 2nd Edition,” which are both also nominated for the IPPY publishing awards, will be used for organizing the event (http://www.motordoc.com/publishing.htm), as well as a percentage of all SUCCESS by DESIGN profits. Everyone, including SUCCESS by DESIGN employees, is organizing the event as volunteers with ALL proceeds after direct expenses for advertising, promotion, organizing, the venue, and other costs associated with such an event, going directly to the cause.
Over the next month we will be organizing and finalizing details on the venue and the event and will continue to make announcements. We will be looking for sponsors, in addition to the ones that we have already been in contact with, and organizations that wish to work with us. If you have questions, or wish to be contacted about how you can participate or sponsor the event, please contact me directly at howard@motordoc.com or visit: http://autismbookevent.blogspot.com/ or http://www.motordoc.com
Let’s all do what everyone else just talks about!
