Letter From The Vice Chair
Greetings From Your Section Vice Chair,
I miss you guys. I personally can't wait to get back in the game. It has been a long stretch for all of us and the summer is already half gone. I hope each of you have found ways to stay healthy - mentally, physically and spiritually. I believe each having equal footing in life. We are witnessing extraordinary times as the country also endures tremendous political and civil upheaval while businesses, schools, private and civic organizations struggle to reopen in our communities.
Unfortunately, we continue to be in a holding pattern with regard to future meetings and the Corona Virus situation. It seems the goal posts keep being moved. However, we see daylight. We are contemplating reopening soon. Please reach out and let us know how you feel about this. We want your thoughts!!! It is necessary for us to form a plan of attack. Our meeting place is permitted to hold half capacity now. (25 people max). Our meeting facility continues to improve as we now have a beautiful kitchen counter and sink installed. Meetings would be contingent upon everyone being sensible, responsible, respectful and considerate of others. Safety will be paramount.
Tara is also trying get us Zoom capability. ASNT also has many virtual opportunities with regard to training and the upcoming 2020 conference. I personally have invested in a Logitech C920s ($70.00) and 922 Pro ($100.00) web cams. They are hard to find. Additionally, Be Advised that the new 2020 editions of ASNT SNT-TC-1a, CP-189 and CP-105 are now available on the ASNT publications website.
I am also proposing to hold Level I/II MT, PT, UT & ET refresher courses at our meeting place. During the week or possibly on weekends. It depends on the participation level. I will try to keep the costs to minimum. More participants, lower cost. What would you be interested in? When would be most convenient for you? My contact info is in the officers section.
Hope to see everyone soon. We need you!!! I need Strawberry Shortcake!!!
Sincerely,
Ed Dukich
