President
Katharine E. Morgan is president of ASTM International, one of the
world’s largest organizations for the development of international
voluntary consensus standards. With three decades of experience
in increasingly strategic and managerial roles at ASTM, Morgan is a
respected leader in the global standards community.
After earning her bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from
Lafayette College, Morgan began her career at ASTM supervising
the standards development work of several technical committees. In
1990, she rose to become a director, overseeing several managers
and their respective committees.
Morgan was named general manager of the Technical Committee
Support department in 2001. In this role, she oversaw several areas,
including symposia, workshops, international activities, committee
services, meeting services, and contract management services.
In 2007, Morgan was appointed vice president of Technical
Committee Operations. In this position, she directed a 50-member
team, leading efforts to create, track, evaluate, and adjust strategic
business plans for each of the division’s units. In addition, as part
of ASTM’s senior leadership team, Morgan helped guide ASTM’s
overall policies, finances, and partnerships. She assumed the
presidency in 2017.
Morgan is one of the world’s prominent voices on standardization-
related issues. She is a member of the American National Standards
Institute’s board of directors, the Council of Engineering and
Scientific Executives, the International Consumer Product Health
and Safety Organization, the Society for Standards Professionals
(SES), the American Society of Association Executives, and
former member of the Standards Council of Canada’s Standards
Development Organization Advisory Committee.
Morgan also holds a master’s degree in business administration
from Widener University in Chester, Pennsylvania. Her Twitter
handle is @astmpres.
