On April 18th, ASME s new home at 2 Park Avenue was officially opened at a ribbon cutting ceremony and celebration that was attended by the Board of Governors, special guests and many staff members who have been with ASME for many years. At the ceremony, the ASME Board Room was renamed as The Esther and Richard Rosenberg Board Room, in honor of the Rosenbergs lifetime commitment to the engineering profession and dedication to ASME. Richard Rosenberg, who served as the 106th president of ASME from 1987 to 1988, attended the ribbon cutting with his wife, Esther. Neither of them knew the conference room was to be renamed in their honor. The Rosenbergs daughter, Dianne C. Rosenberg, M.D., had m ade the surprise gift through the ASME Foundations 2 Park Avenue Campaign, which allows participants to pay tribute to friends and family members, commemorate great contributions to the field, or simply give back to the profession while also making a significant gift to support ASMEs Foundation programs in K-12 STEM education, university student programming, and humanitarian engineering.
