Membership/Marketing Committee Sheila Joy, on behalf of Dan Coley, Chair Person NASSCO's marketing objectives include increasing municipal and professional (engineering) by 20%, increasing contractor membership by 5% and increasing NASSCO's exposure in Trade Magazines. To date, we've increased municipal membership by 15%, lost about 3.2% on the professional membership and increased contractor growth by 2.6%. We have more work to do on this front! Exposure in trade magazines has grown substantially over the past three years! From media values of $575k in 2012, $615k in 2013 and an estimated $660k in 2014. Wow! Thank you to our media partners, Municipal Sewer & Water, Trenchless Technology Magazine and Underground Construction Magazine. ehabZone Committee Guy Leslie, Chair Person The RehabZone, an education zone at UCT, includes a Sewer History Exhibit and other hands on displays with expert volunteers to speak to attendees about different technologies in a no -sales environment. This year, we'd like to add more hands-on displays and we also need those expert volunteers to help educate those touring the zone. Please consider helping. Also, we are currently collecting sponsorships to bring things like the Sewer History to the exhibit as well as to cover other expenses associated with the event. Please donate! Chap Lining Committee Steve Hirtz on behalf of Dave Kozman, Chair Person A new manual of practice (MOP) is under development by an ASCE task group that addresses a new CIPP design approach for gravity flow applications. A second draft is being finalized, with a target publication date of 2015. NASSCO is looking at developing a CIPP design certification course that would reflect the new ASCE MOP. NASSCO will be discussing co -authorship of the MOP with ASCE. NASSCO is performing due diligence on industry demand, pricing structure and delivery of this course (classroom, online or both). Once approved, it will take about 5-6 months to roll out. A Pipe Rehabilitation Standards Subcommittee has been formed to define structural classifications for pressure pipe lining technologies (Class I, II, III and IV) in M28. The subcommittee had its first meeting at ACE in Boston in June and another at WEFTEC on 9/28/14. The committee has developed initial framework for each classification for industry feedback. Final recommendations will be published through AW WA as a white paper. Industry Relations Committee Brandon Conley, Chair Person This committee is currently helping to facilitate NASSCO presentations at local conferences. If you have a local conference that you participate in and would like to speak about NASSCO, we can provide a presentation to you. We are also looking for more people to get involved in the committee. If you are interested, please contact the NASSCO office. Pressure Pipe Committee John Schroeder, Chair Person The Pressure Pipe Committee's mission is to develop reliable technical information, guidelines and other references for capabilities, limitations and costs of pressure pipe assessment and rehabilitation technologies that will help owners and engineers with the inspection, maintenance and rehabilitation of their pressure pipelines.
