The four ASME members selected for participation in the Minority Leadership Program began their 12-month internships during Congress in November.

The goal of the program, which is sponsored by the Board on Diversity and Outreach, is to increase the participation of women and under-represented minority members through mentoring and leadership development. With the guidance of a mentor, each intern participates in the activities of the sponsoring board or committee as a non-voting member.

The 2004-2005 MLP interns and assignments: Aureen Currin, International Gas Turbine Institute; Cassandra Dugal, Member Interest and Development; Paola Jaramillo, Engineering Education; and Micki Marshall, Pre-College Education.

Participation in the MLP intern program is open to ASME's female and under-represented minority members who have attained associate member status.

Program information is at www.asme.org/communities/diversities/bdo/
