James J. Robinson is TMS’s new executive director, the TMS Board of Directors announced today. He will succeed Warren H. Hunt, Jr., who has served as TMS executive director since July 2006. Hunt will serve as the new TMS Materials Innovation director. This change in staff leadership will be effective May 29.
Immediately prior to becoming executive director, Robinson held the position of deputy executive director, a role that he accepted in 2010. He has been a TMS staff member for 28 years, progressively advancing through a number of leadership positions during that time.
“TMS was fortunate to have such an excellent and ready successor available to the executive director position in the person of Jim Robinson,” said Wolfgang Schneider, 2012 TMS President. “In addition to his extensive experience with nearly every facet of the TMS organization, he brings to this position a strong desire to serve our Society, to work with our membership, to support our volunteers, and to collaborate with our partner organizations. The Board had no doubt that he will lead TMS into an exciting future as our new executive director.”
Schneider also noted that Hunt’s decision to focus more fully on TMS’s Materials Innovation initiative is a key element in ensuring the Society’s continued growth and advancing the Society’s role in developing a materials innovation infrastructure. “In the last several years, Warren has pioneered TMS’s leadership in these rapidly emerging, transformative areas,” he said. “His being able to more fully devote his energies and talents to these endeavors will exponentially benefit both TMS and the materials science and engineering community as a whole.”

More than 30 Inaugural Signatories
Posted on:
5/13/2012 12:00:00 AM...
TMS publicly released the Orlando Materials Innovation Principles in conjunction with a White House event on May 14. The Principles provide guidance on pursuing collaborative efforts with the intent of accelerating the materials innovation process to drive manufacturing and economic growth. They were developed as an outcome of the TMS Materials/Manufacturing Leaders Summit on March 15, 2012, in Orlando, Florida, that drew on the expertise of 50 thought leaders to identify approaches addressing the challenges presented by the U.S. Materials Genome Initiative.
The four Principles call upon the materials and manufacturing community to work together on pre-competitive projects, to incorporate integrated computational materials engineering across industries, to create a materials innovation infrastructure, and to train the current and future workforce in materials innovation tools and processes.
To date, more than 30 industrial, government laboratory, and industrial partners have signed the Principles indicating their intent to support these goals. Visit the Orlando Materials Innovation Principles website to view the full set of Principles and current signatories, access background information, and submit your information for consideration as a signatory.
