The Hartford and Southern Connecticut Chapters of ASM International are sponsoring a workshop with Dr. Michael J. DeHaemer, Managing Director of ASM International on Tuesday, January 25, 2000. The workshop's focus is on enhancing "Materials Information Flow" within the Connecticut materials sector (Companies, Academia and Professional Societies).

Knowing the importance of materials and material processes to the success of your business, I am certain that you will want to ensure that a representative of your company attends. There is no charge for the workshop.

Workshop (Contact Joe Kubinski to attend)

Time: 2:00 - 5:00 PM
Topics

• Materials information flow and assimilation for successful company operations
• ASM-Int'l as a resource for materials professionals, and how to better utilize this resource
• How your company and materials associates benefit through membership and participation in ASM International.
• Enhancing your Chapters' ability to satisfy your materials information requirements.
• An opportunity to give feedback directly to ASM International's Managing Director, and also to the Chapters' officers on their operations and services.

Time: 4:30 - 5:00 PM
The Chapters officers will discuss with Dr. DeHaemer Chapter operations (see Chapter Visit Report), review ASM International's support of Chapters, promote successes, detail collaboration, identify concerns and provide feedback directly to our Managing Director.
