Martino will replace previous CEO Lynn May when May retires from the position on December 31. Martino has worked for the ASRT since 1999, most recently as its chief academic officer. Since 2001, he has also served as chief operating officer of the ASRT Education and Research Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the ASRT.
