The Gases and Welding Distributors Association (GAWDA) Spring Management Conference (SMC) begins today in San Antonio, Texas, with the slogan “Lead with purpose, serve with heart.”
Spanning the weekend period, the program features several learning opportunities in the form of workshops, educational sessions, and presentations. Close to 700 GAWDA members and their guests are expected to attend.
Day one
Today will kick off with several committee meetings before wider activities begin in the afternoon. One of the first open networking and learning activities will be led by Gary Halter, President of both GAWDA and Indiana Oxygen. Halter’s “lunch and learn” will be an interactive session, through which he will share his industry stories and approach to motivating and maintaining a strong team.
