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<p>We&#8217;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<p>We&#8217;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<p>Enjoy your summer break!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LIAWS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LIAWS Season Wrap-Up &amp; Summer Break Dear LIAWS Members, Hands-On Day Success We want to extend our heartfelt thanks for making our recent hands-on day such a tremendous success!
