April – May  Lunch and Learn  Metals Processing – We have the opportunity to have one of our SME members present a unique process of metal finishing (surface hardening) at a series of luncheon meetings through out our chapter region if there is sufficient interest.  Please RSVP to John B. if you would like us to schedule one of these lunches in your city/area.  If you need more information John B. can provide more details on the technology.

Fall – Six Sigma Green Belt  We have the opportunity to provide a series of courses to our SME members so they can achieve this certification.  Please RSVP to John B. if you would be interested in having our chapter provide this opportunity in your city/area.  We expect the cost to be very reasonable and our chapter would benefit financially so that we could  partially subsidize student chapter members’ participation.

 

Thanks for your continued support of our Chapter events.  Please let me know if you have ideas or needs that our chapter can address in the future for your benefit.
