This is an exciting time for the Foundation, with great opportunity before us— and it is a wonderful time for you to get involved! Whenever I speak to industry colleagues, I am reminded that companies across the country con- tinue to have workforce concerns, throughout the spectrum—for entry-level workers and those with advanced degrees—with particular needs for those who can think and do. As many are merely talking about this need, the ASM Foundation is in action mode. The Foundation has signature programs that are effective, replicable, and scalable. Through its deep interactions with its Materials Camp programs, teachers and students become involved with authentic, hands-on, real-world content. They get excited about the field and invariably ask for more. Last year we were very successful. Over 750 teachers were provided 40 hours of instruction by ASM-trained mas- ter teachers. This is leveraged into meaningful changes in the lives of thousands of students. It is our goal to get as many teachers, and subsequently students, exposed to this content as possible to spread that enthusiasm. As we look forward, 2019 will be the year in which: • • The Foundation makes our well-loved and respected content more accessible and easier to use in the class- room and elsewhere. • • New relationships are built to bring our materials sci- ence education content to new audiences. • • Stronger partnerships with a variety of organizations will assist in deploying our message and content. • • Teachers can more easily connect and communicate with us year-round. The ASM Materials Education Foundation is actively working on behalf of your society, your profession, and your interests. There are a variety of ways you can become involved and contribute. Please join us to help shape the future. See more details at our website: asmfoundation.org. We would love to discuss ways to get involved and leave a legacy for the future. Feel free to contact our exec- utive director, Carrie Wilson, or me, as chair, at any time at daehn1@osu.edu and carrie.wilson@asminternational.org. Thank you for your ongoing support of the Foundation. Glenn S. Daehn, FASM Chair, ASM Materials Education Foundation FROM THE FOUNDATION
