Mr. Waddell,
I am writing you to thank you.
First off, thank you for your efforts in promoting ASA on your web site www.shotcretetraining.info and second, thank you for all your work promoting and conducting the nozzleman certification program [training]. We are trying to use every avenue available to get the shotcrete message out to the world and I really appreciate the role your web site plays in our efforts. Your web site is both well designed and very informative, and ASA benefits greatly by being among the topics of the site.
I know that you are aware that we are working hard to try to add value to ASA membership. One of the recent developments is the posting of links to government projects that are open for bid. In order to do this, we are now sending out two versions of our e-newsletter: an ASA Member edition that includes the listings with links and a non-member edition that does not include the listings with links in it. It is our hope that this will be yet another incentive for members of the shotcrete industry to get involved and become a member of ASA.
Thanks again for all your work. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance in your efforts.
Sincerely,www.shotcrete.org
Chris Darnell
Executive Director
American Shotcrete Association
248/848-3742
From my point of view… it you are not a member of the ASA then as a shotcrete nozzleman or contractor, you are missing out on your number one resource in the business.
