Ever feel intimidated in a corporate golf situation or choose not to participate because you don’t feel up to par? Join us May 11th at Broken Tee for our annual Golf Clinic – only $30 for members and $45 for non-members.

Save the Date for the next Technical Luncheon! It will take place on Tuesday, June 20th and Benjamin Burke, PhD, will be presenting on Geology. More info to come! Technical Luncheon – Geology
NETWORKING CHALLENGE! It’s easy to forget we have many resources in our co-workers and other people in our networks. They can be great allies when it comes to problem-solving, resume building, etc. So this month, find 3 people in your office/network that you don’t know well. Stop by for a chat, set up lunch or a drink (or invite them to a WOGA event!) and find out more about them! Where are they from, where else have they worked, what do they do for fun? If you end up with a great experience, connection or story, email it to christa.zaharias@corrosionintegritysolutions.com. The best submission received by June 10th will get free entrance to a Technical Lunch of their choice!
Details and sign up instructions for all events are available on our website: wogacolorado.org
