President's Message Jim Door I am writing this after just having returned from our annual meeting and convention. For those of you who attended-thank you. Every year I leave feeling that I am now better equipped to handle the chal­ lenges in my business. I always learn something new, not only in the seminars, but also in the private conver­ sations with other members. My only regret is that I wasn't able to meet and converse with each attendee personally. A big round of thanks goes to Terry Kurdzionak and Lucy Fuleki who did the lion's share of planning and running the convention. We face many challenges, or shall we say opportunities in the years to come. We are coming into our own as leaders, not followers, in setting the standards of excellence in the repair side of our industry. This is evidenced by the fact that Rolex, Swatch, Richemont, and Citizen all had representatives at the convention. The Education Committee, under the leadership of Jerry Faier and with the hard work of Vince Schrader along with others, is close to rolling out the new CW test. In the near future, having a current AWCI certification will have great meaning and help our members to better make a living. Clock repairpersons do not despair. We have not been forgotten, the process is already beginning on the clock side of certification. Certification only tests current skills and knowledge. How do we get to that level and afterward how do we continue to improve? To go along with the testing we are developing new educational programs to allow all of our members to have the opportunity to reach these levels. All of this can only be achieved when people are willing to work together and there is good leadership. I thank Jack Kurdzionak for providing that leadership in the past two years as AWCI President. He has set a high standard for which I will strive as your new president. Executive Director's Message James E. Lubic, CMW The Maine Event was a huge success! Over 170 registrations were booked for the complete meet­ ing. The ELM Charitable Trust Fund Raising Dinner was sold out with 100 reservations. The Educational Programs and Trade Fair on Saturday were a big hit. I think everyone who attended learned a lot and had a good time. I would like to thank the office staff, the Board of Directors, all the committees, the Affiliate Chapters, trade fair participants, donors of door prizes, the members who came to the convention, and, of course, the sponsors. Without all of your hard work and participation, The Maine Event would not have been a success. Once again thank you! There were many important issues that were addressed at this year's meeting. The complete meeting's events will be reported on in next month's issue of the HT. Because of deadlines and space requirements we are not able to publish the convention/meeting material in this issue. However, this month's issue does report on one highlight. We thought it was very important to get this information to our members as soon as possible. That is the article titled, "Rolex Urges Industry Partnership with AWCI." We had planned for Mr. Charles Berthiaume of Rolex USA to deliver this speech at the end of the Trust Dinner after Mr. Collard's presentation on Waltham watches while we were still on House Island. I had thought that this would be the ideal spot for Mr. Berthiaume to speak. But when we got to the island there was no microphone or podium. I still thought the idea was a good one, but it was going to be a little awkward. We decided to go ahead as planned anyway, which we did. Just as I finished introducing Mr. Berthiaume we were told that we had no more time on the island and that we had to leave. The boat to take us back to Portland was at the dock blowing its hom. So there we were. Mr. Berthiaume had been introduced, but wasn't able to speak. I couldn't believe what was taking place. We discussed what to do during our walk to the boat and subsequent boat ride. Just before the boat docked in Portland I asked if I could use the microphone on the boat to make an announcement. The captain agreed. I then asked the group to gather in the registration area of the hotel and we would decide at that time where we could gather for Mr. Berthiaume's speech. About 45 minutes later, we gathered in the hospitality room that had been set up for AWCI members.
