Last Section Meeting Summary Our joint meeting with ASNT in January was a great success, with around 50 attendees! Paul May, owner of Orange Coast

Testing gave a fantastic presentation to meet ASNT Level I and II ASNT Certification requirements for Penetrant Testing

(PT) and Magnetic Testing (MT). We sincerely thank him for taking time off his busy schedule to volunteer as a guest

speaker and give ASNT and AWS members such an informative and valuable presentation.

After Paul’s presentation, we had a delicious dinner, provided with great service by Maggie’s Pub. Dinner was followed by a

panel discussion with Certified Welding Inspectors George Rolla, Ladon Gilbert, Tim Chubbs and Nabil Butris.

All four CWIs have different backgrounds and experiences, which made the discussion very informative, touching on all the

many different aspects of being a CWI, and all many different types of work a CWI can perform.

George, who works as a CWI and consultant, also training and certifying welders, introduced the AWS Welding Inspector

Certification (CWI) Program highlighting the importance of the AWS QC 1 and B5.1 Standards, which govern the program

requirements. He briefly covered the certification/exam process, which our section hosts twice every year, in Los Angeles.

Ladon, Quality Manager for Total Western Inc, presented his perspective as a CWI, involved in plant turnaround and con-

struction. Tim Chubbs talked about his personal experiences as CWI and how it complements his work as a process consult-

ant in the welding industry. Nabil Butris, who works for the Don Bosco Technical Institute, discussed his experience in pre-

paring professionals who intend to become CWIs.

After the discussion, we raffled off lots of goodies. Ernesto Garcia, a prospective CWI, won the major price: an AWS In-

spection Toolkit and a CWI book bundle. Good luck on your exam Ernesto!!!!

We want to sincerely thank Paul Padilla from ASNT and Tim Chubbs Program Director/AWS LAIE Section, for organizing

such a terrific meeting!!!! We wholeheartedly appreciate you volunteering your time to put together this great event.
