ASM Officers Appoint Members
In accordance with the ASM International Constitu-
tion, ASM president Mr. Jon D. Tirpak, FASM, vice president
Dr. WilliamE. Frazier, FASM, and immediate past president
Dr. Sunniva R. Collins, FASM, appointed nine members to
the Nominating Committee from among candidates pro-
posed by chapters, committees, councils, and ASM Affiliate
Society boards. The committee is responsible for selecting
a nominee for vice president-trustee (one-year term) and
for nominating three trustees (three-year terms). Mem-
bers do not select a candidate for president of the Society,
because Article IV, Section 3 of the Constitution states that
the office of president shall be filled for a period of one year
by succession of the vice president. The 2016 Nominating
Committee’s nominee for vice president will serve as ASM’s
president in 2018.

ASM Appoints Interim Managing Director
In early February, ASM International named Tom
Dudley interim managing director. In this role, he will be
responsible for Society operations while the Board of Trust-
ees conducts a national search
for a permanent managing
director. Dudley was chosen by
a selection committee headed
by ASM trustee Jackie Earle,
a metallurgist at Caterpillar.
The search committee recom-
mended Dudley based on his
experience, business acumen,
leadership, and ability to carry
out ASM’s vision.
