Dear AWS Arizona Section Members,
Many new volunteers have reached out to help with next year’s section responsibilities, but we are extending the nominee submission date to March 28, 2024.
AWS Arizona Section 055 volunteers are pivotal in the American Welding Society (AWS), offering invaluable expertise, practical insights, and real-world experience to drive progress and innovation. Their involvement ensures that the AWS and related manufacturing sections remain closely connected to the industry’s challenges, facilitating knowledge exchange, skills development, and the establishment of helping others. By actively participating in AWS Arizona, industry volunteers continually contribute to advancing welding and manufacturing practices and providing a sense of community among professionals.
Similarly, AWS continues to inspire the next generation of talent with several educational and networking opportunities that provide the strength and glue to welding sectors locally and globally.
Please send your information to [email protected]. The committee is scheduled to meet in late April to review the section Scholarship Applications and assemble a list of new volunteers. Thank you, and have a great week!
