2008 ASME ECLIPSE Interns

My, oh my, where has the time flown? It’s November, which means the ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition has arrived. If you haven’t met them yet, I wanted to introduce you to this year’s bumper crop of ASME ECLIPSE Interns. They are a phenomenal bunch, as always, and come from all over. Shane McGoldrick is the ECLIPSE intern for Strategic Management, and hails from Dunedin, FL. Annmarie Connor is the ECLIPSE intern for the Board of Governors, and is from Orlando, FL. Jenn Dandrea-Spadafora is serving on the Center for Leadership and Diversity Board, and she lives in Seattle, Washington. The Knowledge & Community (K&C) Global Communities ECLIPSE intern is Hieu Nguyen from the Houston, TX metropolis. Garrett Herning is the ECLIPSE intern for the Institutes sector, working on EMCI, and lives in Sussex, WI, right outside Milwaukee. And finally, the sixth member of the 2008 group is Michael Moore, the K&C Programs and Activities ECLIPSE intern.

If you’re interested in serving ASME at the international level, or want to find out what really goes in a specific board or sector, I highly encourage you to apply to be an ECLIPSE intern. This year’s applications are due January 15th, and the application can be found on ASME’s website: (http://www.asme.org/Governance/Volunteer/Early_Career_Leadership.cfm). If you’ve got questions about the program, feel free to contact the co-directors of the ECLIPSE program, Larry Dickinson and Karma Snyder.
