IMS Board Nominations
The ASM IMS Awards and Nominations Committee is soliciting nominations for three Directors for a three-year term. Any member of IMS in good standing is encouraged to nominate themselves or another member for one of these positions. Current Board members whose terms are expiring may be eligible for nomination and possible re-election on an equal basis with any other candidate. Applications are due March 1.
Service on the IMS Board of Directors involves planning and driving the future strategy of your society. The Board of Directors meets nearly monthly by conference call, and face-to-face once a year. Board members also provide liaison support to the several IMS Committees which may involve a few additional conference calls. Candidates are encouraged to ensure that they have the support of their employer for this activity.
Candidates are asked to provide a three-page (maximum) nomination package to include the candidates:
- academic/business biography
- metallographic industry background
- IMS and ASM involvement
- vision for the future of IMS
- photograph and contact information
- confirmation of employers’ support
