Chairman’s Message
Thanks to all who have dedicated their time and efforts to make this a productive 2011/2012 season. As chair, I have learned a great deal about the commitment and dedication made by the 2011/2012 officers and committee members.
As we complete this section year, let the experience we gained serve as a spring board for 2012/2013.
Think about what can be done to encourage our young adults to take an active role within our Section. They are the future of the welding industry and to the existence of this Section and the Ameri-can Welding Society.
Enjoy your family and friends and have a safe and enjoyable summer. Herb Browne, AWS NJ Section Chairman
