2014 SPRING MEETING

14spring

President’s Welcome

Planet Blue Inca Gold

2014 USCTI SPRING MeeTING SPONSORS

Welcome to Amelia Island! Our USCTI Spring Institute Meeting promises to be

a welcomed relief from the winter known as the Polar Vortex. And we thought

cryogenics was a cutting tool treatment. As my tenure begins as USCTI President,

it is my honor to represent such a fine legacy of our industry. Dave Povich and his

predecessors have left large shoes to fill, and like all of them have accomplished, it

is my intent to help make the USCTI a little better than I found it. As membership

has increased over recent years, and the quality of meetings has continued to

improve, the bar has been set high for this challenge.

This year’s meeting promises to deliver on details of today’s most prevalent topics.

From the promising future of Aerospace Markets to the Affordable Care Act to

Mergers & Acquisitions. However, the most important opportunities really arise

by being here. Not just for the substance in presentations, but for the networking

with other industry executives and the exchange of ideas that goes with it.

We will be looking for your feedback, as the USCTI Statistics Committee

has worked diligently on revamping our current market analysis. We will be

presenting the new direction for 2015 statistics and looking for your feedback.

This, and much more.

So, we look forward to seeing you in the sun. Did I mention the sun?

See you in sunny Florida,

Tom Haag

USCTI President

Programs committee chair’s Welcome

Hello everyone and welcome to the USCTI Spring Institute Meeting in beautiful

Amelia Island, Florida. We have activities scheduled for members and their spouses

throughout our three days together on the Island.

In addition to our traditional activities, we have scheduled a Beach Party Sunday

afternoon from 1:30-3:30. We will have some fun activities scheduled and there will

be a bar set up for us on the beach for all of us to enjoy a few cocktails while we

hopefully enjoy some much deserved warm weather. Please take some time to thank

the sponsors during the meetings. Without their support, these events would not

be possible.

I hope this meeting will be a great opportunity to learn, network, laugh, and relax.

I think I speak for everyone who has endured (and are still enduring) this wicked

winter, we deserve some warm weather.

Regards,

Mike Stokey
