"The opportunities I will have to strengthen my leadership skills as part of the program will help me provide the highest level of service to Exponent clients for years to come."

Dr. Hollenbach has been active within ASME as a part of the International Gas Turbine Institute (IGTI), presenting multiple papers at Turbo Expo Conferences.
