Dave Fink, President of CWA, will introduce the program. Mick Pates, Chair of the Symposium Committee, will host the event.
The Annual General Meeting and Awards Dinner will be held on October 21. At the AGM, members will be asked to approve the new Constitution and Bylaws, and elect a new executive.
Honorees for both 2001 and 2002 will be recognized at the Awards Dinner.
MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS
As has been discussed, CWA is working to obtain subscriptions to welding-related trade publications for all members. Two months ago, we included a subscription form for one of the publications in this newsletter.
This month, the addresses for all members were sent to Canadian Industrial Publishing. All members will now receive FabCanada magazine. If you do not receive FabCanada on a regular basis, please contact CIP at editor@cipmetalworking.com.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Canadian Welding Association’s Board of Directors has been working to ensure that the new association is flexible and responsive to members’ needs. The Constitution and Bylaws have been amended, and are now ready for member approval at the Annual General Meeting.
CWA-CWB ALLIANCE
The Canadian Welding Association and Canadian Welding Bureau have drafted a letter to 3500 welding practitioners across Canada asking them to join the Association. An increase in membership is important to continuing the work of the association.
GOLF
The Mike Cherry Memorial Golf Tournament will be hosted by the Toronto Chapter on August 28. This tournament benefits a scholarship fund for students in engineering at the University of Waterloo. Watch for further announcements.
