Ann King: "Curtain Wall Technology"Susan Swabacker: "Fire Resistance of Building Materials"


All too often. women overlook their own expertise or pass it off with a shrug. This week, two of OWA's experts have chosen to share some of their knowledge of construction technology with us. We hope to tap more of our members' resources for similar program in the future.
Swabacker and.King were scheduled to speak last week but were unfortunately rained out by a spirited debate on the articles of incorporation proposed for the OWA. Note that this week they will be in a position to filibuster the articles.

8:30 Miscellaneous announcements including portents of a huge professional woven's convention in the East Bay, presentation of the elusive OWA graphics award to its more elusive recipient (Lea Margulies) if she is back from France, possible future projects for the OWA, and, hopefully, rubber stamping of the revised proposed articles of incorporation.
