We gratefully acknowledge the many contributions of those who are completing their committee work and in many cases, moving on to new committee responsibilities. We would like to especially acknowledge the leadership and contributions of Roger Brockenbrough, who is retiring as chairman of AISI’s Committee on Specifications after more than 25 years of service. Under Roger’s leadership, six editions of the Cold-Formed Steel Specification were published, including the ‘harmonized North American standard.’”
