  or
• TEG click here

Or send an e-mail to and request that your name be added to the roster. If you are not a NACE Member click here to learn about the benefits of membership.

STG Membership Comes with Certain Privileges and Responsibilities:

• You will have a chance to comment and to vote on all proposed reports and standards produced by the Task Groups (TGs) administered or sponsored by an STG of which you are a member.
• Every STG member is obligated to return all ballots and any other committee correspondence requiring a response. Failure to do so can result in removal from the STG.

To become a TG member, you must contact the TG chairman for permission. Then the chairman may contact the Technical Activities Division with your name.

All NACE technical committee meetings are open to the public. Attending a committee meeting is a great way of seeing first-hand what kind of work a committee is involved in and how you can best participate. However, you cannot be automatically added to a TG by checking the guest roster at committee meetings; TG members can only be added at the discretion of the chairman.

Benefits of Technical Committee Membership

Information on corrosion problems and technologies is available to individuals participating on the committees. Employers of committee members also benefit by having knowledgeable staff members who are familiar with technological advances on board, which may be important to successful company operations. Recognized corrosion experts share their expertise and experiences at technical committee meetings held each spring at NACE's Annual Conference and at Corrosion Technology Week.

Technical committee members take the opportunity to make contacts who can provide them with quick answers or speedy access to information. When you join a technical committee, you can call fellow members any time you are confronted with corrosion-related problems or questions. There are no additional fees or dues required of technical committee members.
