From the Desk of the Chapter Chairman...
Hello Birmingham Chapter!
If you didnt brave the storms for the October meeting, you really missed out! We started out with an excellent mini-seminar on heat
treating and ended with a great message on OSHA regulations
by Wayne Jackson from the Alabama Technology Network. The eve-
ning proved to be very educational for all! If you missed it, I hope to
see you at the next meeting scheduled for November 3rd. We have a
great program planned on Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing.
The November meeting will begin with a mini-seminar on the topic of
Additive Manufacturing in the afternoon. The cost will once again be
$40, but will cover the cost of dinner. This is an excellent way to get
those CEUs and professional hours in before 2015!
The 2015 Southeastern Regional plans are well underway. It is sched-
uled for April 8th 10th at the beautiful Ross Bridge Resort. There will be a golf tournament held at the Ross Bridge course. Look out
for early registration details for a discount on golf!
Dont forget that Christmas is fast approaching as well. Rick Walsh has a fun time in store for the party!
I look forward to seeing you all at the November Meeting!
