New IGTI managing director named

Don H. Greene, P.E., who is a Certified Association Executive, joined ASME last month as the new managing director of the Society's International Gas Turbine Institute (IGTI).

A resident of Suwanee, Ga., Greene will be responsible for the daily operation and staff of the Atlanta-based IGTI, a technical institute of ASME dedicated to supporting the exchange and development of information to enhance the design, application, manufacture and maintenance of gas turbines and related equipment and technology.

He will also lead the efforts behind IGTI's largest annual event, ASME Turbo Expo—Power for Land, Sea and Air, which is scheduled to take place in Atlanta, June 16-19.

"We are very pleased to have Don join us as managing director of the IGTI," said Thomas Loughlin, managing director of Engineering for ASME. "His many years of experience with associations and industry will provide the leadership and direction we need to enhance the institute's role as a premier resource for members of the gas turbine community on both the technological and educational fronts."

Prior to joining IGTI, Greene served for almost nine years as director of member services and operations for Polaris International of Duluth, Ga., an association of independent public accounting firms.

From 1984 to 1994, he held various positions of leadership at the Institute of Industrial Engineers in Norcross, Ga., including project development manager, staff engineer and membership manager. In 1981, Greene joined Scientific-Atlanta Inc., in Lawrenceville, Ga., where he worked as an industrial engineer.

Greene received his bachelor's degree in industrial engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1980, and went on to earn a master's in business administration from Georgia State University in 1988.

He is a member of the American Society of Association Executives, the Georgia Society of Association Executives, the National Industrial Engineering Honor Society (Alpha Pi Mu) and the National Business Honor Society (Beta Gamma Sigma).
