AWPA Announces Members Site
AWPA is pleased to announce a NEW feature on the AWPA website at www.awpa.org. A password protected Members Site provides you, as a representative of one of AWPA's member companies, membership and association information.
The Members Site features an on-line Membership Directory. Members may search by Company Name, Last Name, State, Country and Member Type. The directory provides lists of companies, as well as their representatives and plants. Importantly - you can help us keep your membership listing up-to-date. There is an online Change of Address Form in the Membership Directory Section.
In addition, you will find minutes of meetings, policy statements and lots of statistics. Many of the statistics reports that members receive, including those mailed in this newsletter, are available to be downloaded in Excel for your use. All reports are also available in .pdf format to view and print.
To enter the Members Site you will need a User Name (your Member ID) and Password (your Last Name in lowercase letters), which have been provided to all AWPA members by mail. If you did not receive your Member ID, please contact AWPA at database@awpa.org.
Once you are in the Members Site, there are also sections for which you must have specific access. For instance, the Domestic Production reports for Nails, Stainless and Garment Hangers may only be viewed by representatives from the companies authorized to receive these reports.
Please visit the site, and review your listing in the Membership Directory. If you are a Primary Representative of your company, please also review your list of Company Representatives to make sure all of these people should
be listed. Send us a Change of Address Form, if necessary.
These items have been posted and are ready for your viewing:
- Draft Bar Code Standard for Wire Rod. All members are asked to
review and comment before April 13, 2001
- Minutes from the Annual Meeting. These are dated February 7-10, 2001
