Sponsored jointly by AME (www.ame.org) and APQC (www.apqc.org), these two learning organizations provide the guidance and resources needed to start this CoP, as well as a core group of founding members. The AME/APQC Benchmarking CoP will continue to be governed by an expanded steering committee:

Bill Baker, AME
Glenn Marshall, Northrop Grumman
Mark Palla, Raytheon Company
Bill Sacherek, The Boeing Company
Ron Webb, APQC
Susan Chandler, AME

The AME APQC Benchmarking CoP is an informal, organically grown CoP made up of individuals interested in benchmarking and related topics. This CoP provides you with:

• A vehicle to share ideas and learn from peers about benchmarking
• A close network of peers to help in benchmarking initiatives
• An ability to further the thinking and concepts of benchmarking
• A code of conduct for sharing and protecting information
