Melissa Holbrook Begins Term on ASTM International Board of Directors

Melissa Holbrook, director of quality at Solmax Geosynthetics, has started her three-year term on the ASTM International board of directors.

ASTM International’s board is made of 25 leaders from a variety of companies, associations, universities, government bodies, and other organizations around the world.

Holbrook transitioned into her role after 20 years as a senior quality manager at TenCate Geosynthetics, until its acquisition by Solmax.

A member of ASTM since 2002, Holbrook has worked extensively within its geosynthetics committee (D35). She served as subchair of D35.03 until 2022, and in 2024 became D35’s membership secretary. As a member at large, she has lent D35 both extensive knowledge in quality control and a drive to engage young professionals, particularly women. For her contributions, the committee honored her with an Award of Merit (2022) and an Award of Appreciation (2023).

Holbrook holds a BS in chemistry and a MS in analytical chemistry from the University of Georgia.
