American Foundry Society (AFS) officers decided that the AFS Trade Commission (AFSTC) should be melded into the Government Affairs Committee (GAC) following the 110th Metalcasting Congress.
I would like to take this opportunity to reflect back on the efforts of the AFSTC and some of the challenges still facing the metalcasting industry.
Special thanks go to the AFSTC members who worked so hard with me, the AFS staff--both in Schaumburg and Washington--and to the metalcasting industry, which supported these efforts with time and money and gave me the opportunity and privilege to be part of this very important commission.
