Abstract

One of our key committees is the National Examinations and Qualifications Board (NEQB), whose role is to oversee the awarding of MASM and FASM. Membership of the NEQB has undergone a number of changes recently. These involved Peter Timms, who stepped down as Chair after a lengthy period of outstanding service. Peter's replacement is Julian Rood, a former president of ASM, who has returned to assist us once more. Another major change is the impending retirement of the Registrar, Tuckweng Kok, who will be replaced by Gary Lum (Registrar) and Kate Sieb (Assistant Registrar). The fact we need two people to replace Tuckweng speaks volumes about his contribution. The three new members of the Board are Melissa Brown, Louise Hafner and Gilda Tachedjian.
