But these chapters represent just part of the generous, giving spirit of our ASMC ASMC American Suzuki Motor Corporation ASMC American Society of Military Comptrollers ASMC Association of Sales & Marketing Companies ASMC Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference ASMC Area Support Medical Company ASMC American Small Manufacturers Coalition family. Our ASMC chapters are involved in aiding the young and the elderly, the homeless, and victims of natural disasters, just to name a few. Chapters have supported organizations such as Special Olympics, Salvation Army, and Disabled American Veterans The Disabled American Veterans, or DAV, is an organization for disabled veterans that helps them and their families through various means. It currently has over 1.2 million members. The DAV was controversial during the 2006 election cycle. and have even become involved in year-long projects.

In addition to these activities, most of the chapters have adopted the same practice as at the National PDI of presenting guest speakers with charitable donations instead of token gifts. These deeds speak highly of our organization and of our ASMC members, who truly care and are richer for the experience. |
