HIGHLIGHTS...Nominations
Nichol Campana
Director of Development
and Operations
T he year 2014 has
been a momentous
one for the ASMMateri-
als Education Founda-
tion. This year marked the 15th
anniversary of Materials Camps, we
launched a new branding platform that in-
cludes fresh modern logos, piloted an
after-school program called “Materials
Matter,” and accomplished—one year
ahead of schedule—the Pick Up the Pace
goal to expand the Materials Camp for
Teachers program to 50 locations!
In accordance with our mission to excite
young people in materials, science, and en-
gineering careers, we
awarded 18 scholar-
ships to deserving stu-
dents totaling $88,000.
This has been a year of
learning, both looking
at the past and looking
toward the future. As I
complete my first year
with this exceptional or-
ganization, I am humbled by the passion of
the staff, enthusiasm of the volunteers, and
commitment of our donors.
I would like to extend a special thank you
to the staff: Pergentina (Jeane) Deatherage,
Ginny Shirk, Veronica Becker, and Mary
Anne Jerson. Their hard work and friendly
service enables us to meet the needs and
expectations of our supporters and partic-
ipants. I would also like to thank the out-
standing leadership of our Board of
Directors and Executive Officers.
Lastly, I would like to express my
gratitude to all of the volunteers who
contribute to and participate in a mul-
titude of committees and programs
that review and help conduct the busi-
ness of the Foundation.
As we approach the end of the year, I
send my very best to each of you. I am
proud to serve this organization and look
forward to working with you in the coming
year, and with your help, making ASMMa-
terials Education Foundation the best it
can be.
It’s a rare gift
to love what
you do and
with whom
you do it, and
I’m grateful
every day
for the
opportunity.
