Paul Peercy Receives 1992 Woody Award Paul Peercy, of Sandia National Laboratories, was recently named 1992 recipient of the Woody Award, "in recognition of outstanding service and dedication on behalf of MRS, as exemplified by Woody White, MRS President 1984." The award was presented to Peercy by 1992 MRS President Slade CargUl at the MRS Council dinner during the 1992 Fall Meeting in Boston. The Woody Award is given informally to recognize outstanding volunteer service to MRS, above and beyond normal expectations, that has contributed to the success of the Materials Research Society. The name comes from the accomplishments achieved by C.W. "Woody" White, in and around the time of his presidency. Regardless of the official role he playscouncillor, committee chair, symposium organizer, committee member—Peercy contributes significantly, and has done so for many years. Peercy's involvement with MRS dates back to the "nucleation stage" of MRS. He served as co-organizer of the symposium on Laser and Electron Beam Processing of Materials in 1979, a topic that was one of the foundations of a young MRS and a strong driving force for its continuation and growth. He has been instrumental on
the Program Committee, chairing it in 1985, 1990, and 1991 and sculpting an approach to technical programming that provided continuity, flexibility, and technical excellence through the years. Peercy "is good at building consensus and facilitating cooperation," Cargill said. As an active member of the External Affairs Committee, Peercy was one of the conference chairs for the first Washington Materials Forum held in 1991 and its prime mover, ensuring a solid program and the cooperation of the many organizations involved. The event was co-sponsored by eight materials-related societies. Also, as a member of the Solid State Science Committee (SSSC) of the National Research Council, he facilitated coordination of the Washington Materials Forum with the policyoriented forum of the SSSC, which was cosponsored by the National Materials Advisory Board. Peercy was a meeting chair of the 1984 Fall Meeting, second vice-president of MRS in 1988, and chair of the Journals Subcommittee within the Publications Committee. He was a principal editor of Journal of Materials Research from its inception in
1986 through 1992 and is a member of the JMR Advisory Review Board. He presently serves as a councillor.
