In 1987, the scope of this award broadened to include all engineered materials. Emerging Professionals Achievement Award Ms. Ali Scheer, senior associate Eng-Met, Caterpillar Inc., Mossville, Ill., will receive this year’s award “for stepping up to fill multiple positions in the Peoria Chapter and demonstrat- ing leadership by coordinating multi- ple events including materials camp.” Established in 2010, the award recog- nizes and honors extraordinary ASM volunteers who are less senior individ- uals, i.e., 0-5 years of experience post-graduation, who have made a significant impact on ASM International through devoted service and dedication to the future of the Society.
