ASM’s 2017 Nominating Committee, from le : Khinlay Maung,

Nominating Committee Pit Crew
Works Tirelessly
At 8:00 a.m. on the morning of the Nominating
Committee meeting, it was discovered that Erhan
Ulvan had a flat tire. As many of the committee
members had stayed at the same hotel, one of them
suggested they all work together to quickly change
the tire. Business attire aside (no pun intended), the
impromptu pit crew was a total success—with the
exercise serving as a proper warmup for the teamwork
required by the nominating process.
