voted exclusively career develop- ment and including a panel of four maritime professionals discussing personal qualifications, transferable skills, degrees and career paths. "There is a lot of concern for people getting out of the Navy about jobs — especially with all the recent Navy downsizing," said Ms. New. "We want to help in any way we can the people who are entering the com- mercial marine field." Also geared toward the future are the ASNE

Day luncheon and awards on Fri- day, April 19, which will recognize the winners of several awards, in- cluding young scholarship winners and winners of ASNE's Science Fair.

And of course, the ASNE Day show always presents one of the greatest arrays of exhibitors from the marine industry. At press time the exhibitor count was over 130 companies from the technological, manufacturing, shipbuilding, engi- neering design and service ends of the marine industry, and more were registering. Expectations are that the exhibitor count will exceed last year's.

Also different in this year's show is the addition of a spouse program: spouses will be entertained with a tour beginning with brunch, and including visits to Washington D. C.'s botanical sights: the Botanical Gar- den, the National Arboretum, and the National Herb and Rose Gar- den. Another change is that the

ASNE Banquet, usually held at the end of the technical sessions, this year will be held on the evening of

Thursday, April 28 so more attend- ees wanting to get home for the weekend can still participate. "The whole industry is in a criti- cal time," said Ms. New on the im- portance of ASNE to the maritime industry. "Forty years from now the Navy could be virtually nonex- istent if we don't show the world there's a need for it." Ms. New said that even beyond the Navy's de- fense function, "we need to keep ourselves alive by showing that the

Navy plays a meaningful role."
