TMS will select five rising professionals to participate in the 2012 Emerging Leaders Alliance Capstone Program, a leadership training program for scientists and engineers working in management, technical, and academic positions. This unique program offers the opportunity for professionals to interact across disciplines and obtain foundational, executive-level knowledge. The program is sponsored by the Emerging Leaders Alliance (ELA), a multi-society initiative that provides an interdisciplinary community of learning for engineering and scientific professionals. TMS and the TMS Foundation are Gold Level Sponsors for the 2012 ELA Capstone Program, which will be held in September in Reston, Virginia.
Applicants must be active members of TMS, typically ages 25–40. The program accepts individuals in rising or current middle management with demonstrated potential for upper-level/executive management, individuals in rising or current technical staff leader positions, and professors with aspirations for university leadership positions.
The TMS Foundation will cover registration fees and provide $250 for travel expenses for the five TMS representatives. To apply, send a letter of interest, one to two letters of recommendation, and a resume or CV to Deborah Price, awards and recognition specialist. The deadline to apply is June 15.

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 will be 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 worked closely with TMS leadership and staff to strengthen our 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.”
