Two committees of ASTM International<\/a>\u2014Committee D08 on Roofing and Waterproofing<\/a> and Committee C15 on Manufactured Masonry Units<\/a>\u2014honored members with Awards of Merit last month. This award, which comes with the title of Fellow, is the organization\u2019s highest honor for individuals who have contributed to standard development.<\/p>\n

Committee D08 awarded Soprema\u2019s vice president and general manager Tim Kersey, recognizing his leadership in improving practices related to polymer-modified bituminous roofing products and systems within the committee. Kersey has held his current position since 2012, and has been an ASTM member since 1988. He is also a member of the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association<\/a> (ARMA), Single Ply Roofing Industry<\/a> (SPRI), National Roofing Contractors Association<\/a> (NRCA), and FM Global<\/a> Advisory Council. Kersey possesses a degree in chemistry from Henderson State University<\/a> and is the past recipient of two ASTM Awards of Appreciation (2004 and 2012) as well as its 2011 Distinguished Leadership Award.<\/p>\n

CSI member (and contributor to The Construction Specifier<\/em>) A. Rhett Whitlock earned the award from Committee C15. An ASTM member since 1985 and president of South Carolina-based WDP & Associates Consulting Engineers<\/a>, he was honored for his dedication to masonry unit manufacturing standards. Whitlock received his PhD in civil engineering from Clemson University<\/a>, and was 1997\u2019s winner of ASTM\u2019s Alan H. Yorkdale Memorial Award<\/a>. He is also a member of the Masonry Society<\/a> (TMS), International Masonry Society<\/a> (IMS), and National Trust for Historic Preservation<\/a>. Whitlock\u2019s co-authored articles on weather-resistive barriers (WRBs) and Portland cement plaster and steel framing can be read online.<\/p>\n
