WESTERN STATES CORROSION SEMINAR

HISTORY OF WSCS

Over 50 years

Joe Dorsey (Southern California Gas Company) was drafted to be the first Chairman of the Western States Corrosion Seminar held in 1967.
Since that first seminar, dedicated and hardworking volunteers have continued to help support the legacy of the only corrosion seminar of its type in the the Western U.S.

AMPP (Formerly NACE)
AMPP Western Region has been a contributor of financial support and backing. The Seminar is still a function of the AMPP Western Area, but acts as an autonomous body with its own committee, budget, and by-laws.

ONGOING SUCCESS
All seminars have been successful from both an attendance and financial standpoint. Judging from the seminar critiques, both the speakers and students have learned and benefitted from attending.
Total registration for the 50+ Seminars, 20+ CP Tester Courses, and 15+ Recitifier Courses has exceeded 6900 students.

BECOME PART OF THE LEGACY
Don't miss this excellent opportunity to network with professionals, develop helpful contacts, and exchange ideas and experiences with your counterparts in the world of corrosion control!
