Congratulations go to Loretta McHugh. She has been recognized for her extensive efforts to make ASME more relevant for early career engineers. As a just reward,Loretta will be joining the Strategic Initiatives and New Products (SINP) Committee at the June 2006 Summer Annual Meeting (SAM).
As a member of the Committee, she will be bringing the perspective of the early career engineer to the SINP. Loretta's input will likely be based on her broad knowledge of ASME's current programs and activities targeting early career engineers from her experiences as the Chair of the Committee on Early Career Development (CECD) under the Center for Professional Development, Practice, and Ethics (CPDPE).
Loretta can be reached at HawkesL@asme.org.
Way to go!

PBS Seeks Engineer Co-Host for "Design Squad" Engineering Reality TV
Anyone want to be a TV personality? IEEE has put this TV show together.
Maybe ASME should do the same thing...or partner with them on a multi-discipline project.
***
WGBH Boston is seeking two co-hosts for "Design Squad," the working
title for a new PBS engineering reality TV program aimed at 9- to
12-year-olds, which will begin shooting this summer in Boston. During
the program, two teams of real-life high-school youngsters (not actors)
compete using their problem-solving skills to design, construct and test
functional, whimsical machines. The engineer co-host must have an
engineering degree or basic engineering education; a "natural and
spontaneous nature"; and be comfortable in a learning/teaching
environment with teens, as well as in front of a camera. For more
information on applying, go to http://boldfish.ieee.org:80/u/2303/8179 .
For a peek at a pilot of "Design Squad," see

Call for Members to participate in the ASME Government Relations Task Force
Hi all,
As the newest government relations representative here in
the Washington Office, I want to give all of you my warmest
salutation! Currently, I am in charge of policy matters
related to aerospace and aeronautics issues,
bioengineering, and defense science and technology
research.
As you may know, ASME has a task force that brings in its
members to participate in forming ASME's positions on key
issue areas. As of now, I work extensively with ASME's
Aerospace, Bioengineering, and DoD task forces. I would
invite all of you to participate and become involved in
these task forces. The majority of the work is done by
email, which will allow you to stay up to date with our
task force activities even if you cannot actively
participate.
If you have any interest, please contact me at the
information below!
Sincerely,
Josh
