February 2010 Chairman's Message

Just a reminder everyone that Los Angeles section
meeting for February is dark due to NDTMA in Las Vegas.
We would love to see you in Vegas it is a great
program February 9-11th at Golden Nugget. Otherwise
we will resume at Maggies March 9th. The speaker is Jim
Davis and he will be talking about Concrete X-ray.

We received a wonderful thank you card for the Los Angeles
section donation for the spouses program for the conference.
Without support and donations it’s hard to make the spouses
program fun for those who support their husband or wife in
NDT.

Our last meeting in January was absolutely wonderful. Thank
you Betsy for coming down and sharing what makes a good
section. There are so many things that are easily forgotten
that we must pay attention to as a section. Also Betsy shared
with us some great new ideas on how to promote membership
and have a successful section. It is very important to us to
reach out to our members. We are starting a phone committee
to start calling our members to attend the local Los Angeles
section meeting. Los Angeles has a huge membership
and only a small portion of that attends the meeting. We
would really like to see more of you at the meeting to get to
know you and share stories as well as create new friendships
in NDT. Please make an effort to come and don’t hesitate to
call me , your chairman, and let me know if you are coming to
the next meeting. I would like you to feel comfortable before
you come to the meeting knowing you can ask for me. My
number is 714-330-0154 I look forward to hearing from you
and will make an effort to have someone from the board give
you a call for our next meeting in March. Don’t forget we have
a great dinner and raffle prizes too. It is not only a great technical
meeting but we do also have fun.

It is never to early to start in NDT, that is proven by the picture
below. I hope what will be our youngest members ever, Jaxon
and Jet Jones pictured below with ASNT bibs. Thank you
Betsy for the very cute and thoughtful gift from ASNT. My
newborn sons wear them proud. To our future NDT technician’s
of the world I hope to see more of.
