ASM Seeks Candidates for Treasurer ASM is seeking candidates for the position of ASM Trea- surer to immediately fill the remainder of Mr. Raymond V. Fryan’s term through September 14 and for consideration as Treasurer for 2020-2021. The treasurer is an officer of the Board of Trustees and chairs the Finance Committee. The treasurer is also a member of the Investment Committee and chair of the Audit Committee. Commitment involves travel to meetings at least three times per year and par- ticipation in telephone conferences. The treasurer works closely with ASM’s CFO and the financial staff at the Dome, who provide ample support of the Society’s accounting practices, researching historical data, preparing meeting agendas, and more. ASM bylaws state that the treasurer must be a member of the Society. It is recommended that the treasurer have a good understanding of finance and accounting and also some profit and loss responsibility in a company or organi- zation. Prior experience in the volunteer leadership of ASM is also helpful. Once applications are received, the treasurer is nomi- nated by a five-person Nominating Committee for Treasurer that will review candidates and present their nominee to the Board for approval. This committee is convened to select a treasurer and is separate from the Nominating Committee for vice president and trustees. Although the treasurer is officially appointed for a one-year term, reappointment for multiple years is typical. Planning on a three-year term or longer is reasonable. For more information or to be considered for this position, contact ASM President Zi-Kui Liu at prof.zikui.liu@ psu.edu with copy to ASM Chief Financial Officer, Veronica Becker at veronica.becker@asminternational.org. Appli- cants should include a short letter explaining why they would like to serve as treasurer along with a resume. All requests for consideration should be received no later than March 15.
