ASM Affiliate Summit Debuts in July
ASM’s inaugural Affiliate Summit was held at the Dome
on July 28. The impetus for this initial meeting was born out
of a need to bring our sister societies together to discuss
what ASM can do for them, and to provide a forum for ASM
staff to learn about what our affiliates need to be successful.
Members of ASM’s Lead Team gave presentations and Ross
Brindle from Nexight Group facilitated a discussion on prior-
ities for the affiliates in terms of service needs and business
development. Attendees were highly engaged in the Summit
andmembers of the various societies had the opportunity to
meet each other for the first time and exchange ideas.
In attendance were leaders of the Heat Treating Soci-
ety, Electronic Device Failure Analysis Society, International
Metallographic Society, International OrganizationonShape
Memory and Superelastic Technologies, and Thermal Spray
Society, as well as the Failure Analysis Committee, who has
shown an interest in becoming part of the affiliate commu-
nity in the future. For more information, contact

EPC Announces Emerging Materials
Professionals Symposium at MS&T
The Emerging Professionals Committee (EPC) is orga-
nizing the 8th annual “Perspectives for Emerging Materials
Professionals” symposium at MS&T15 in Columbus, Ohio,
October 4-8. The path to success in materials science and
engineering (MSE) might not be clear for early professionals,
while established professionals may have already figured it
out. The symposium objective is to bring different genera-
tions of materials professionals together and pass down
knowledge to emerging professionals.
A diverse group of speakers fromacademia, industry, and
the national labs will share tips on professional development,
ways to meet goals, the importance of diversity, emerging
opportunities in computational modeling, and taking onman-
agement roles. ASM’s incoming president, Jon Tirpak, FASM,
will deliver the keynote presentation and highlight opportuni-
ties that exist for MSE professionals.
The symposium will also include an interactive panel
discussion titled, “I Got My Degree, Now What?” Panelists
include Dianne Chong, FASM (The Boeing Co., retired), Mel-
anie Cole (U.S. Army Research Laboratory), James Earth-
man (University of California, Irvine), Jack Hyzak (Precision
Castparts Corp.), and Jon Tirpak, FASM (FDMS/PROFAST/
