On the eve of its 125th Anniversary, another chapter in the ASME history book opened last month when nominations for ASME offices were announced.

For the first time, two women were nominated to serve simultaneous terms on the Board of Governors.

They are among the 16 nominees who were named during the Summer Annual Meeting and will appear on the ballot to be delivered to ASME's voting membership in the September issue of Mechanical Engineering magazine.

One of the women nominees for an at-large-seat on the BOG is Alma Martinez Fallon, who has been active in ASME since 1990. She currently serves on the Council of Public Affairs and the Committee on Staff. She is a manager of Planning and Manufacturing Engineering at Northrop Grumman Corp. Her term as president of the Society of Women Engineers ended last month.
