There has never been a more exciting time to become a
nominee for vice president or trustee of ASM International!
The society’s 2015 vice president and trustee elects will be
a voice for the membership and shape ASM’s future
through leadership and implementation of the ASM Strate-
gic Plan. Those nominated and elected will become an in-
tegral part of the Board of Trustees, which includes three
student members.
Qualifications: Requires an understanding of ASM’s ac-
tivities and objectives on a local, society, and international
level, as well as issues and opportunities that the society will
face in the next few years; general knowledge of international
trends in the engineered materials industry and profession is
also necessary.
Duties: Board members undertake various assignments (as
individuals or on subcommittees) during intervals between
regular meetings. Trustees also make chapter visits and serve
as board liaisons to ASM’s various committees and councils
to provide guidance in accordance with the Strategic Plan. Re-
sponsibilities require initiative, judgment, and knowledge of
current activities in the engineered materials field.
Guidelines: Nominees for vice president must have previ-
ously served on the ASM Board, and those selected as
trustees should be capable of assuming the ASM presidency.
Finally, members selected to serve on the board will repre-
sent all of ASM, not solely their respective chapters, affiliate
societies, or geographic areas, and must use prudent judg-
ment when considering issues affecting society activities.
Deadline for nominations is March 15, 2014. For more
