Dear Friends:
Overall results achieved during 2014
were cause for celebration in the
ASM Materials Educa-
tion Foundation, so
we are carrying the
theme of “celebrating
milestones” into this
year’s annual report.
Further, 2014 marked
the 15
th
anniversary of
Materials Camps, as
well as the launch of
a new brand platform.
We also accomplished—one year in
advance—the “Pick Up the Pace”
goal to expand our Materials Camp
for Teachers program to 50 locations!
I attribute our success to several
groups of people. First, I owe a debt
of gratitude to our donors for sharing
our vision to create a workforce that
is skilled in science, technology, en-
gineering, and mathematics through
hands-on, discovery-based learning.
Without you, the ASM Materials Edu-
cation Foundation could not exist. In
the past year, we have experienced
continued growth and ongoing re-
quests for camps, to which you have
responded so generously.
I am also deeply grateful to our dy-
namic staff, the tireless efforts of our
volunteers, and the Board of Trust-
ees members who are passionate
about exciting young people in STEM
careers.
As we look ahead to the next 15
years, I thank you for believing in the
ASM Materials Education Foundation
and, more importantly, in the educa-
tors and students who are driven to
succeed and inspire others.
With warm regards,
Dr. Aziz I. Asphahani, FASM
