LIAWS Season Wrap-Up & Summer Break<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear LIAWS Members,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hands-On Day Success<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks for making our recent hands-on day such a tremendous success! Special appreciation goes to Dennis<\/strong> and his team at AWISCO<\/strong> for hosting this fantastic event. We’re grateful to Lincoln Electric for providing consumables, Brian, Alex and Liam<\/strong> for bringing their rigs, equipment, and invaluable experience, and Lou<\/strong> for bringing materials and aluminum stick electrodes for everyone to try. Thank you to Jessica<\/strong> for her excellent planning and logistics support, and to all attendees who made this such a terrific event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Season Recap<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we head into our summer break, we want to recognize the board’s continuous efforts in making LIAWS events enriching experiences for our members. This past year brought many successes: our meet and greet, the joint Christmas party with ASNT, our welding-business development event, the tour of KB Application Experience 3M training center, the hands-on day, and the District Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve celebrated student members earning scholarships, members achieving CWI certifications, job connections being made, and early career welders receiving guidance from industry professionals. We also welcomed a new treasurer to our board, strengthening our organization. Special thanks to Chair Brian Cassidy and the entire board for their dedication, and to Justin Mixon, our new District Director, for his continued support and commitment to making the long drive to attend our events in person and provide the guidance we need to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re already planning next season with the Meet and Greet, Hands-on day(s), KB Application visits, and Welding Business discussions returning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy your summer break!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
