e are about to gather for our 2012 Annual Meeting very soon! The registration is booming and I’m excited about the opportunities to learn, interact, and enjoy time together once again. In between

our Annual Meetings a lot of work goes on that continues to strengthen CCAI’s impact on the fi nishing industry. I have been personally impressed with the enthusiasm and obvious leadership ability of the Goyer Management staff and the CCAI Board of Directors who work to make it all happen. If you haven’t attended a CCAI Annual Meeting, you need to register now! This is by far one of the best opportunities to improve your knowledge of our industry while having a tremendously good time. This year’s program promises to provide very interesting and educational content with a full line up of knowledgeable speakers.We will have representatives from the U.S. Department of

Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers on hand to bring us up-to-date on export initiatives for our members and the upcoming presidential election, while our own industry experts, Bob Shrouds and Matt Kirchner will present the economic update and trends of the industry to our members. Of course, that’s not all. Sprinkled in between the educational sessions we will have Beach Olympics, a tour of the Bonnet House Museum and Gardens and, of course, the Golf Tournament and Annual Awards Luncheon. Don’t miss out! Our 2012 Annual Meeting promises to deliver it all as CCAI continues to grow and become the leading association in the fi nishing industry. See the 2012 Annual Meeting Schedule of Events on the next page and register now at www.ccaiweb.com. In closing, as the presidency is transitioned to Sam Woehler of George Koch Sons, I want to assure you that you have very strong offi cers, executive management, and Board members that work very diligently together as a team. I believe we are moving in the right direction to continue to be a relevant and valuable association for everyone involved in fi nishing. Thank you for the privilege of serving as your president this year. It’s been a j oy to work with everyone and I can’t wait to see you in Florida!

FABTECH 2012 Heads to Las Vegas

CCAI FINISHING Pavilion Now the Largest Finishing Exhibition!ith each passing week, CCAI’s FINISHING Pavilion at FABTECH continues to grow. So much so, that we’ve just added exhibit space to the FINISHING Pavilion fl oor plan.

Scheduled for November 12 – 14, 2012 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, the FINISHING Pavilion exhibit space was quickly selling out, creating the need for additional space. “In the past few weeks, we’ve had several companies expand their exhibit space,” notes Andy Goyer, CCAI’s Exhibit Manager. “With six months until the show opens, we had very little space left to sell. We have been able to expand and gain an additional 1,300 square feet to the FINISHING Pavilion. That space is already selling quickly as well.” To date, nearly 100 companies have selected space in the FINISHING Pavilion. Many exhibitors have enlarged their booth space over the fi rst two FINISHING Pavilions, allowing for more demonstrations of fi nishing products and services on the show fl oor. More than 25,000 visitors are expected to attend FABTECH in Las Vegas. “We look forward to an exciting show,” states Anne Goyer, CCAI Executive Director. “Our FINISHING Pavilion at FABTECH now is the largest fi nishing related show in North America. We know our exhibitors and members will all benefi t from exhibiting in and attending FABTECH this November.

WELCOME NEW CHAPTER - IOWA/CENTRAL ILLINOIS!!

(formerly Quad Cities)

KUDOS to Tom Boland for all his hard work revitalizing the Iowa/Central Illinois (formerly Quad Cities) chapter. CCAI is very excited to see such a great group of people willing to get the chapter moving again. Their enthusiasm is contagious. Since their organizational meeting in March they’ve had 21 new members join the chapter! The kick-off event, a plant tour of John Deere Harvester Works is SOLD OUT with more than 90 registrants. They are currently working on their golf outing to be held at the end of July. We look forward to hearing about many more great events and participation from the Iowa/Central Illinois chapter.

CENTRAL STATESOn April 19, the Central States Chapter of CCAI had 22 attendees at their meeting for the presentation by Dr. Vicki Gelling from North Dakota State University on Corrosion Assessment Control. Her presentation was very good and lasted about 45 minutes but the members had so many questions for her the meeting lasted for two hours. Feedback from attendees was very positive and they felt they learned a great deal that would help them in their businesses in the fi nishing process. Two of the companies may even have her do some testing for them to see how they can get a better handle in controlling corrosion on their products. The Central States chapter extends their thanks to Dr. Vicki Gelling.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS Peerless Plant TourThe Northern Illinois Chapter of CCAI recently conducted a plant tour at Peerless-AV in Aurora, IL. Steve Jayhan, Director of Operations, hosted the tour with a Power-Point overview of Peerless-AV followed by a tour of their complete facility. Peerless-AV is a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of “made-in-the-USA” audio-visual solutions, selling into 28 different vertical markets worldwide. They were recent-ly highlighted in a CBS news story about companies that are successfully bringing their aluminum casting operations back from China. Their overall manufacturing operations also includes (2) complete powder coating lines. The tour was at-tended by 24 people, most of them members of the Northern Illinois Chapter, including end users and suppliers.

Chapter Happenings

Dr. Vicki Gelling is truly one of the crowd here as she joins the Central States chapter for an extended round of questions.

Alex Arce feels the pressure as he tries to sink the fi nal putt to win the putting contest.

Congratulations to the winning foursome!

The Southern California Chapter thanks their sponsors for their support in making the golf tournament a huge success.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAThe SoCal Chapter had a great 3rd Annual golf tournament at Eagle Glen Golf Club in Corona, California. On May 7th, 60 golfers enjoyed a warm day on the greens with a fl urry of contests followed by a wonderful mesquite BBQ dinner and a huge raffl e. The winners of the tournament (Mike Cravens, Peter Marrugi, Alex Marrugi, Peter Mata) fi nished with an incredible 10 under score. Alex Arce won the putting contest sponsored by Coral Chemical after a putt off when 2 players sunk the 50 ft. putt. Mike Fisher and Michael Salvino won the closest to the pin contests sponsored by Tiger Drylac Powder. Bobby Kelly, Jacob Medina and Ponce Sisavath won the longest drive contests sponsored by Sundial Powder Coating. While no one won the $25,000 Hole in One contest sponsored by Sundial Powder Coating, Andy Goyer was the closest at 12 feet on a very diffi cult hole. www.socalccai.com
