Chair’s Message

My last newsletter message referenced “Passion.” I hope each of us had time to reflect on individual skills that could be beneficial to the Section and to the public. Few know who we are, what the Section does, or the importance of welding in our society. Locally, there are many great things happening in the tri-state area which involve welding. Our newsletter is a good vehicle to convey information to people regarding the many contri-butions of welding. Who best to reference these articles than those of us in the field as well as our participating sponsor companies? The newsletter is now electronic, so it is very easy to share, and postal fees are not an issue. Forward the link to colleagues and customers. Use it to tell the public who we are, or who YOU are. Let’s use the electronic age to convey information. We are sitting on an enormous wealth of infor-mation. Let’s use it as the basis for future newsletter articles. First, let’s look at the American Boy Scouts initiative. Ken Stockton spoke at length of his involvement in the Merit Badge program which is a joint venture between AWS and the Boy Scouts of America national or-ganization. Those on the Executive Committee know about it; but many people are not aware of it. Who better than Ken Stockton to provide a short article for the newsletter to benefit our readers? In addition, many people are unaware of welding educational opportunities and available scholarships. The personnel of the Education and Scholarship Committees could provide periodic articles to make others aware of the availability of courses, scholarships and educational institutions. Next, there are many distinguished CWIs in our midst. Articles about trends in welding inspection in the Tri-State area could certainly educate employers and others. This part is directed to our members who are no longer able to attend meetings. You surely can use this opportunity to contribute your valuable

Chair’s Message (Continued. from page 1)

knowledge to the Section and the public by providing suggestions or articles. Don’t feel that you are forgotten. Your hard work has set the foundation, and we love hearing from you. There are great opportunities for the Technical Representative and other technically informed members to elaborate on the Technical Presentations at our meetings to encourage others to come out and attend. The meeting pro-grams not only enable members to keep abreast of technology, they also pro-vide Professional Development Hours for many. Finally, we cannot let our District Director off the hook either. He also could provide periodic articles and keep members abreast of new initiatives from AWS National. Let’s all take a more pro-active role in making the welding industry stronger for everyone.

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.
