Dear Members,
We need your help to serve on the Alaska Section Board of Directors as an Officer!
This is YOUR chance to decide how to best serve AWS members in Alaska and make a difference in our profession.
What does it involve? Not too much time, we promise!
There’s a lot of freedom to focus on the things that interest you:
-
Welding education
-
Scholarships
-
CWI seminar
-
Technical topics
-
and more!
The only requirement is planning and hosting only 3 meetings per year, with additional duties for the secretary, treasurer, and scholarship chair. A commitment of 3-4 years is ideal but not required.
What do you get? Besides the satisfaction of helping fellow members and supporting the profession, it is a great opportunity to:
-
Network with other welding professionals across the state & nationally
-
Access exclusive AWS leadership development resources
-
Grow skills that build your career
Board members also get complimentary travel through AWS including to:
-
The annual district meeting in one of the western states
-
The annual AWS Leadership Symposium
-
FABTECH for one officer who has completed a year of service to the Section
What’s the next step? Email the board at alaska@awssections.org, especially if you have any questions, and plan to attend the voting meeting on Thursday, August 20 at noon via Zoom.
