These include recent -hemberships in the Federation of U aterlals Societies and the Council for Advahcement of Steel Bridge tb6hholbgy; representation on the Board bf.Directors of AWI and EWI; and the signing of a cooperative agreement with the National Certified Pipe Welding Bureau to develop an AWS Standard. Establishing a presence in Washington, D.C. to work with agencies and departments to identify sources of funding for research activities is vital and is currently being put in place upon the direction of the AWS Board. In addition, the Board approved the granting of special memberships to all State Governors and U.S. Senators to keep them informed through the Welding Joumal and other communications on Society programs and industry activities. International Relations Since 1986, the American Welding Society has been working to establish relationships with sister societies in other countries through the signing of Agreements for International Cooperation. Fifteen Agreements have been executed, the most recent during the Convention and Exposition in Anaheim, with the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute (PWI) of the Soviet Union. A protocol has been signed also with PWI which could lead to joint ventures between Soviet and American aerospace firms and to a cooperative 9 - 438 effort of the Society and PWI to mutually develop a scientific conference on welding in space. Increasingly, AWS has been invited to participate in welding events around the world. Recently, President Huber was invited to speak at the opening session of PWI's Annual Convention in Moscow, and was represented by others at the Korean Welding Cooperative Show in Seoul, and the Annual Meeting of the Mexican Welding Association in Morelia, Mexico. United States involvement with international groups important to the welding industry has been growing as a result of concerted efforts by the Society to increase participation. At the IIW meeting in Canada in July, for example, 40 representatives from the American Council of IIW and the Welding Research Council (WRC) were in attendance, and AWS was an active participant in many of the commissions. Also, the Society has been invited to present a paper at the next European Council for Cooperation in Welding Conference. AWS is involved in the organization of the Pan American Coalition of Welding Associations (PACWA), being developed to foster standardization of the practice of welding in the 26 countries in the hemisphere, including North, Central and South America. A similar coalition is being considered also with the Society's counterparts in Asia. It is with these types of programs, involvement and initiatives that the Society believes it can connect and integrate the islands of technology with opportunity for everyone involved in welding. ill American Welding Society 91- 438 a . j '1i�hrtl�l Documents Published 40 30 20 �a 0 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1 $1,224.3 jt � T� t IM 3 19861987 1988 1989 1990 t Expenditures (For Fiscal Year 1990) y (In Thousands of Dollars) on $9,856.8 s I 100.0% _. r[ 5 Welding Journal, 52,538.E international = 1 $ 70.4 .7% Membership Technical $1,325.9 $2,079.7 1986 1967 1988 1989 1990 irant was itudentL ie grants are M are cipienYs )00 in Ad nationally. watds were scholarships and , togto tow and be row programs. in d agenda, support he development of to be distributed at sigh school levels, 'interesting g and engineering ints to improve their in the basic natics.

Many additional services were provided for international exhibitors and . attendees, such as an Export Interest Directory listing exhibitors interested in international business expansion; advertising in magazines serving international audiences; global distribution of multiple language promotional brochures; and an International Business Center staffed with interpreters to facilitate registration and assist in arranging meetings between American businessmen and visitors from outside the United States. Looking ahead, the 1991 Exposition in Detroit will be one of only 18 leading industry events accepted to participate in The Foreign Buyer Program of the U.S. Department of Commerce. In order to keep pace with the Show's growth and ensure continued success for its exhibitors and visitors, future sites for the A Convention and Exposition are being considered through the year 2005. A much enriched program will be offered in 1991 including expanded Technical and Education programs. The usual pre -convention conference has been made an integral part of the convention program. A special feature will be the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) "Weld -off" to determine the U.S. competitor to the International Skill Olympics to be held in the Netherlands during the summer of 1991. Technical The technical committees of the Society continue to play a major role in the development of standards and other industry consensus publications. The volunteers who serve on these important committees provide input and direction to ensure maximum acceptance of the materials published. During fiscal year 1990, this close cooperation among volunteers and support by staff resulted in a record 37 new documents being published, an increase of more than 54 percent over the previous year, Reflecting the Society's expanded activities, the Technical Department was restructured to facilitate deeper involvement with government and k industry. Focus of the Technical Director ; will be on liaison activities with other ' professional societies and standards organizations, nationally and internationally. The department's . publication of codes and standards is now under the leadership of the° Technical Standards and Publications Director. A Special Presidential Committee was t formed during the year to investigate 5 methods to achieve adoption and: AWS Standards byf implementation of government agencies, and to coordinate the efforts of other Task Groups working on various aspects of the task designed . >; to achieve a long-term goals The Board is pleased to announce that w Volume Two, Eighth Edition, of the Welding Handbook is nearing completion and will be available this winter.

Twenty- nine chapters, covering all welding and', cutting processes, updates and expands the wide scope of information contained in Volumes Two and Three of the Seventh Edition, The Welding Handbook is provided to AWS Members as part of their membership benefits and is available for purchase by nonmembers.
