Recently, AISC President Charlie Carter stopped by one of his favorite places in AISC’s headquarters to reflect a bit on the impact you and your fellow volunteers have on everything we do. He recorded some thoughts in honor of National Volunteer Week.

This particular spot is quite special--it contains a copy of every Manual AISC has ever printed, as well as some very cool old archival catalogs that predate (and, indeed, underscore the need for) AISC’s efforts to standardize the industry. It’s an ironclad reminder of the contributions of a century of dedicated industry professionals like you, working together to drive structural steel forward.

Thank you for everything you do for AISC and the industry.
