ASTM International has appointed Andrew G. Kireta Jr. as the organization's new president, effective May 1, 2024. Kireta succeeds Katharine Morgan, who served in the role since 2017 and will retire after a distinguished 40-year career with ASTM. He brings to the job a background in standards development and familiarity with the organization.
"We are thrilled to welcome Andy as president of ASTM International," said Bill Griese, 2024 chair of ASTM's Board of Directors. "Andy has spent years supporting ASTM International in a variety of volunteer roles and is exceptionally well-suited to lead the organization forward. He brings a strong commitment to ASTM's mission, values, and membership. Kathie's dedication and engagement have made it possible for us to find the right leader for ASTM's future, and we are delighted she will help to ensure a smooth transition as Andy assumes the role in May."
