The ASA Fall 2009 Committee Meetings will be held at the Marriott New Orleans in New Orleans, LA, November 7 & 9, 2009. The ASA committee meetings are held in conjunction with the ACI Fall convention. Click here to access the committee meeting schedule Changes to the ACI Certified Personnel Directory ACI recently implemented changes to its Certified Personnel Directory in an attempt to limit the use of the tool by “head-hunter” type organizations. The directory still has full functionality for first pass verification of certified shotcrete nozzlemen using an individual’s ACI Certification ID number and\or last name. General searches without specific individual nozzleman criteria now return a list with no individual names. This change allows specifiers to confirm a pool of certified individuals before requiring certification, but prevents “head-hunters” from identifying and pursuing the certified individuals.
