Harrison, OH 4503().1696. Microtechnology Okmulgee Campus at Oklahoma State University President's Message Jack Ku rdzionak, CW This is my final message to you as president. My two years of service is now complete and the time has arrived for the Board to elect new leadership. The past two years have brought several major changes in the ways that AWCI will be servicing its membership in this young century. Your Board of Directors, in cooperation with the management and staff, and with the support of the membership has put the Institute into a fast forward mode. In the very near future, you will have a new, relevant Certified Watchmaker examination that will be recognized by several major watch manufacturers. Watchmakers possessing this certification will be eligible to provide after sales service for their brands. AWCI will support this new exam with continuing educational programs from the Education Committee to augment the existing skills of watchmakers. A new Board of Examiners is currently in training to replace the current Certification Committee. The Examiners will administer and grade the exams. The redesign of our website is nearly complete. The spare parts survey has been done and published last month. The recom mended changes to the Constitution and Bylaws have been approved by the membership and are now in effect. The Horological Times Committee has formulated and adopted a written policy regarding acceptance of materials for publication. The Nominating Committee for Directors will make space available in HT for board candidates to state their views. Available committee positions are now adver tised in HT. The ELM Trust has sold its movement bank to free up the office space and administrative time that was required to maintain this seldom used collection. For the first time, the site of the annual convention was moved from the Cincinnati area. South Portland, Maine will be our first away from home convention and not our last. This outreach has encouraged members from a different area to attend and other members to combine a vacation with a convention. Much has been accomplished in the past two years and more needs to be done. Thanks from the Board and me to all of you, who have supported our efforts for the past two years. Without this support, very little would have been accomplished. Please extend this support to the Board, your new president, and the management and staff of the Institute. I am confident that, with your support and encouragement, the future of the Institute will be ensured. AWCI Education and Assessment Specialist's Message Vince Schrader, PHD, CMW In order to assure that EVERYONE is aware of the activities of the Education Committee in Watch making, I am taking the liberty of updating the AWCI membership at large by an abbreviated version of a post that I wrote on the "AWimatters" Yahoo Groups a brief time ago. Hopefully, after you read the following you will see that an ENORMOUS amount of activity, both paid and voluntary, has occurred over the past year. Industry has worked amicably with us to make sweeping changes. And now, we stand on the cusp of making true progress for our profession. This is the short version: I. We have a good test developed for Certified Watchmakers. 2. It (the assessment) needs only a bit more development to become valid, reliable, and defensible in court... that's why I was hired. When the test is finished, it will be defensible. 3. The test requires EXTENSIVE examiner preparation, monitoring, assessor training, and costly materials. 4. WE HAVE A SOLID STANDARDS DOCUMENT prepared in draft form. But beware, for it is 60 pages long, if you wish to read it. Feel free to contact Nancy Wellmann or Jim Lubic at AWCI or myself via e-mail at [email protected]. 5. Anyone who wishes to read this document should do so. I urge those who have "secrecy" concerns to really READ the document. I won't accept criticism of our work from those who choose to criticize committees, leadership, industry, and other extremely committed horologists based on rumor or innuendo. 6. We have built this document as a "Draft for Comment," which means we are BEGGING for input from the membership. Pleas for assistance in the past have gone unheard. 7. Yes, reading the Standards document will take time, (volunteer work), but unless the membership is willing to step forward and actually read our standards they are in no way qualified to criticize our activity. Other important notes: 1. WE HAVE PILOT TESTED for 21st Century Certification, and we have about two-thirds of the data we need to reduce our measurement error to a legally Defensive level.
