BOARD OF TRUSTEES

SUMMARY

ASM has set aggressive but achievable strategic goals

and objectives based on enhancing membership, improv-

ing technical excellence, and establishing strategic collab-

orations/partnerships. ASM will focus at the intersection of

design/engineering, manufacturing, and materials in order

to provide maximum membership value. Importantly, the

necessary leadership and resources are in place to tackle

the hard work ahead. Further steps are being taken in order

to ensure we achieve our vision state. Four trustee-led task

forces have been established to explore the following criti-

cal areas in depth: education, committee structure, digital

workforce, and enhancing student membership. We wish

to greatly expand our educational offerings in community

colleges and chapters. We also wish to organize our com-

mittees to better facilitate the generation and delivery of

content. In addition, we recognize that ASM must deliver

digital content in the manner desired by tomorrow’s work-

force. Lastly, we recognize that students are the seed corn

from which our Society will prosper and that we must culti-

vate and engage them. For more information and to view a
