The American Welding Society (AWS) celebrated the grand opening of its new global headquarters in Doral, Fla., with an open house ceremony Nov. 30.
The organization held a building dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony that welcomed more than 200 board members, international counterparts and agents, vendors, and community leaders at the recently renovated five-story, 122,482-sq.-ft. building.
The new headquarters gives the society space to expand its membership, publishing, exposition, and educational operations. The organization currently has more than 100 employees and serves nearly 70,000 members worldwide.
“Over the past few years, AWS has seen a significantly increasing interest from across the globe in attaining AWS certifications, standards, and membership,” said Ray Shook, executive director, AWS. “We’ve launched a global initiative that will allow us to better serve the welding community, and our new, modern headquarters in Doral is one of the primary steps to becoming more accessible to our members.”
