As our Society begins its second twenty-five years, we continue our journey to expand the knowledge, development and exploitation of composite materials through national and international symposia and conferences and through support of graduate education in composites with student paper awards and student scholarships.  As a Society and as members of the materials community, it is our responsibility to facilitate the advancement of our understanding of composite materials.  As part of that responsibility, our participation is needed in supporting national material initiatives such as the Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) initiative that is focused on the development of the fundamental science of computational and experimental methods that will serve as a bridge between the materials engineer and the component designer.  The key to ICME is the development of process-structures-properties-performance relationships for materials that will enable accelerated materials development and unify design and manufacturing.  The underpinnings of ICME are reflected in ASC’s mission statement to expedite the growth of knowledge gained from inter-disciplinary engineering and scientific research in composite materials.  The contributions of ASC members to the advancement of composite materials are a testament to the benefits and opportunity our society provides to facilitate networking and collaboration with your professional and intellectual peers.  Please join us as we continue to advance our Society in support of the needs of the composite materials community.”
