SAE FOUNDATION
Giving back through volunteering
By SEAN'DRE REiD, intern, SAE Foundation/
AWIM and Temple University student
When Ted Arnold is not leading
the department for Body Quality
Control at Kia Georgia, he
actively volunteers in the SAE
Atlanta Section, inspiring the
next generation. He recently
celebrated his 15-year
anniversary at Kia, where he has
served in several roles. At the
start of his career, he served as a
supply quality manager. Later, he
became the department head for
Quality Assurance at the Kia
plant in West Point, Ga.
He currently serves as vice chair
of the SAE Atlanta Section, but
that's not where his volunteer
journey began. Back in 2013, he
had the opportunity to participate
in an SAE volunteer event on Kia's
campus. It's a memory he says
he'll never forget.
" The first AWIM volunteer event
I went to at our training center
here at the Kia campus was a
much smaller group, " he said. " It
has grown into this big event that
we have in downtown Atlanta
with 500 fifth-graders, and it is
just a great time every year
together with those kids. It was
one of the greatest experiences. "

" One of the most rewarding parts of being an SAE
volunteer is the relationships you build with the
students, " he continued. " After the students get
warmed up to me, I go around and help them with
their challenges, hearing over my shoulder, 'Mr. Ted,
can you come help us? Mr. Ted, look what I did!' Being
in the classroom is the best part, and seeing how
engaged the students are is really the reward for me. "
Over the years, Arnod has mentioned wanting to
make an impact on all students, but especially in the
West Point region. Coming from a small town like
West Point, he wants the future of Kia to flourish
through reaching the next generation. " This plant is
going to be here a long time, and we're trying to
develop our future engineers and technicians, " he
said.
Ted Arnold has been a huge asset to the Atlanta
Section, as well as to SAE and the SAE Foundation.
