How Technical Committees Work

• Many of NACE’s members participate in the activities of more than 300 NACE technical committees. The committees serve as the technical arm of the Association.


• Committee members develop NACE standards, reports, and other publications, and conduct informative meetings, symposia, and open forums to exchange state-of-the-art technical information.


• Technical committees meet at NACE’s Annual Conference, at Corrosion Technology Week, and during the year as often as necessary to conduct business.
