Special March Meeting!
Our March meeting will be on a Tuesday night to accommodate our special guest speaker. We will be honored to have David Landon, past AWS President, speaking to our group on "A Triple Pass of the Torch: Technology, Heroism, and Mentorship."
In this presentation, the first pass of the torch will reflect on the technological advances that are commonly found in manufacturing and, more specifically, in the welding field today. Welding has moved past the dark, dirty, and dangerous occupation of the 20th century to one filled with the technology of super hero movies. In the second pass of the torch, the presentation will focus on qualities that make heroes attractive. Landon will reflect on the heroes that have influenced him throughout his career. The third pass of the torch is a challenge to be a hero yourself through mentorship.
You don't want to miss this great opportunity to learn, fellowship and meet a past AWS president.

Great Student Night at TCAT Smyrna
Our Annual Student Night was a big success! A hearty thanks to Joy Rich, Director of Experiential Learning (TN Board of Regents), who shared some of her passion and goals for SkillsUSA for Tennessee, as well as SkillsUSA nationally. She introduced us to her SkillsUSA State Officers. There seemed to be a consensus that the AWS Nashville Section, along with other sections across the state, would be supporting SkillsUSA more intentionally with greater participation of resources, both with people and finances.
After the discussions wound down, we enjoyed a good Whitt's Barbecue dinner, some fellowship, and, of course, gave away some great prizes.
Special thanks to Holston Gases and Wire Wizard (our very own Heath Jackson) for donating the prizes we gave to students. There was over $500 worth of prizes donated and given away.
We are also very grateful to Marshall Brown and the team at TCAT Smyrna for the wonderful hospitality in hosting this event.
