Attached is a copy of the agenda for the subject meeting, which will be held on Wednesday, October 27, 2004, 1:00 to 5:30 PM, at the Hilton Inn in downtown Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. As previously noted, our meeting has been scheduled after the conclusion of the AASHTO/National Steel Bridge Alliance (NSBA) Steel Bridge Collaboration meeting. The national meeting rotates among different regions of the country, and is being held for the first time in the Mid-Atlantic States region. This will allow more of the SCEF members to attend the Collaboration meetings, who may not be able to otherwise, when those meeting are held in other parts of the country.
We strongly encourage SCEF members to attend as many of the Collaboration meetings as possible. Structural Coatings Subcommittee members are requested to review the current Collaboration document distributed for ballot, “Guide Specification for Coating Systems with Zinc-rich Primers,” and attend the Task Group 8 meeting to offer comments. Our regional group should be prepared to take a position on this document.
Please access the Collaboration’s website for details about the scheduling of Task Group and General Session meetings, along with information about lodging at the Hilton. A block of rooms has also been reserved at Government rates at the Crowne Plaza hotel, located about a block from the Hilton.
This meeting announcement will be posted on the FHWA Resource Center’s website with a link to the SCEF Meetings. All SCEF members with an Internet address will receive these materials electronically. Hard copies will not be mailed to these individuals. Those members without an Internet address who have an “**” next to their name will receive a fax of the materials. All recipients of these materials are requested to make the information available as soon as possible to other non-Internet members in their State or Company.
If there are any problems with receiving the documents either electronically or by fax, please notify Mr. Melvin Harris at (410) 962-2773. Members are requested to review their previous copies of Subcommittee listings and consider participation as appropriate.
We look forward to another successful turnout and to the active participation of all attendees at the meeting.
