With ASME's Continuity and Change initiative now in Phase II, members of the Project Management Task Force for 2004-05 were appointed March 26 by 2003-04 ASME President Reginald I. Vachon. They met for the first time April 29.

The primary role of the Project Management Task Force is to review and approve proposals for project teams; facilitate and coordinate support and input from a wide variety of project teams, operating in parallel; and provide the necessary coordination and interface of project teams with the ASME Board of Governors for timely information and necessary decisions.

Senior Vice President Victoria Rockwell will serve as chair of the Project Management Task Force. The task force will include Harry Armen, as ASME president; the president-nominee for '05-'06, who will be named during the Summer Annual Meeting this month in La Jolla, Calif.; Vachon, as immediate past president, and William T. Cousins as the Board of Governors representative for the task force.

Also serving will be 2004-05 Senior Vice Presidents Frank Adamek, Shlomo Carmi, James Coaker and Wade Troxell, as well as Paul Torpey, an ASME past president; Virgil R. Carter, executive director, and Joseph M. Holm, assistant treasurer.

Those members will be joined by their counterparts on the Executive Management Committee: John J. Corcoran, Member Affairs; Philip W. Hamilton, Public Affairs; Thomas G. Loughlin, Engineering; Chor W. Tan, Education; and June Ling, associate executive director, Codes and Standards.

All of these members shall remain until the task force is sunset in July 2005. They will meet approximately every two weeks via teleconference.
