Sounds interesting, too bad its not in Kansas City, especially now that I'm looking into the ICC.

What might be a cool thing for the AWS to do is have a webpage added to the sight here were videos of these types of presentations could be viewed.

The Colorado Section is trying to offer more options for PD hours. If affordable I think CWIs would go not only to avoid taking the 9 year test but to get a refresher on techniques not used often. I hope it catches on with other AWS sections and with the ASNT, although the filming it is not a bad idea.

Does anyone have ideas for future lecture subjects?

Does anyone have ideas for future lecture subjects?

Yes. I have found that there is a large number of cwi's who have issues with the annexes. I think a lecture covering all annexes for cwi's would make an excellent refresher.
