Welcome To Tulsa!
A message from the NOMMA President
Durin g METALfab 2009 and almost every day since, your staff and Board of Directors have spoken with exhibitors, past presidents, new and long-term fabricator members — the one overwhelming “point of view” is that we must not eliminate our yearly convention and trade show.
We understand that more than ever, and we know that value is of great importance. That is why I am pleased that METALfab 2010 will be held in Tulsa, OK, for the first time in NOMMA history. Well, you asked for it, and now you have it: multi-tier education, hands-on training, and plenty of shop tours! I spent many days in Tulsa, and was amazed and surprised — amazed at what Tulsa has to offer and surprised to see that this mid-sized metropolis has a vibrant small town feel with big entertainment and many attractions. Why have we never been to Tulsa before? Doug Bracken and I visited with shop tour companies and met with local suppliers, and they are very excited about what NOMMA is bringing to Tulsa in March. My goal for METALfab 2010 is: to offer attendees the best education program in METALfab history, to provide new and exciting products for attendees to learn about, and to make the METALfab experience more affordable for attendees. These goals reflect NOMMA’s commitment to create meaningful benefits for the membership. I look forward to seeing you at METALfab 2010 – the World’s Largest Ornamental Iron Education, Expo & Exchange
