HIGHL IGHTS A D V A N C E D M A T E R I A L S & P R O C E S S E S | M A Y / J U N E 2 0 2 2 5 5 All three chapters have strong and dedicated leadership and I was impressed with their balance of senior, mid-career, and emerging professionals. Opportunities for increasing membership through in-person, remote, and hybrid meetings was a unifying theme. As geographically dispersed chapters are challenged by meeting locations, Philadelphia decided to invest in computer technology and a Zoom upgrade so they could reach out via ASM Connect to all interested ASM members. Returning to in-person education with downloadable content from online courses was also a high priority, as was a return to student recognition and scholarship award events. We look forward to hearing more about the success of these ventures at Leadership Days. On May 2, Vice President Dave Williams and I, together with Past President Ravi Ravindran and Trustees Navin Manjooran and Kamachi Mudali, will attend the virtual inauguration of ASM’s latest Material Advantage Chapter at VIT Bhopal University. Incoming ASM Senior Vice President Pradeep Goyal will give the Chief Guest address. Our chapters in India are flourishing and we are delighted to welcome such an enthusiastic group of students and faculty to the ASM family. In closing, I am delighted to recognize the incoming 2022-2023 ASM Board officers-elect and trustees-elect. Joining the Board will be Senior Vice President-elect Mr. Pradeep Goyal, chairman, Pradeep Metals Ltd. India; Vice President-elect Dr. Navin Manjooran, chairman, Solve Technology and Research Inc.; Trustees-elect Dr. Amber Black, Los Alamos National Laboratory; Professor Pierpaolo Carlone, University of Salerno, Italy; Professor André McDonald, University of Alberta, Canada; and Student Trustees-elect Jaime Berez (Ph.D. Georgia Tech); Ashlie Hamilton (undergraduate, University of Minnesota); and Nicole Hudak (undergraduate, The Ohio State University).
