It was a surreal evening as we honored the legacy of Mr. Ron Pierce who passed away earlier this year. Guest speakers included family, friends & co-workers celebrating his 60 years as an AWS member, longtime AWS Mobile Section Executive Committee Member, as well as a Past AWS National President. Mr. Pierce was a great leader and mentor in the welding community and will be missed by many. The Mobile Section was blessed to have him as a member of the section for so many years.

A special thanks goes to Monica Pfarr, Executive Director of the AWS Foundation, for taking the time to visit and join us at the meeting. Monica gave a great presentation and overview of the AWS Foundation initiatives and programs, workforce development and career resources.
