Quote: "TMS provides the technical information and professional contracts that one would expect from an international professional society. In addition, I have benefited enormously from the support and encouragement of a large number of TMS members who offered me opportunities to demonstrate my technical and organizational abilities. Young members don't need an established track record to get involved; they just need interest and enthusiasm."

Quote: "My association with TMS has been the most rewarding professional society relationship in my career. Not only has TMS provided me with an outlet for my research, but is has also been an avenue for both my students and I to make important contacts with other professionals. However, in my opinion the most rewarding aspect of TMS membership has been my attendance at the annual meetings--I haven't missed one since 1977--and the opportunity they offer to recharge my batteries with stimulating papers and conversations with colleagues."
