President's Corner
The big news in this issue is that the new AAWE website is now live with many new and updated features. Email for your password to access the members section if you are currently paid up for 2008. Annual (2008) dues and Workshop registration payments may be made via credit card on our secure server.
We have a new Corporate Member. We welcome Engensus Engineering and Consulting out of Baton Rouge in Louisiana. Feel free to visit their website, listed on the back page of the newsletter. There are some meeting announcements in this newsletter including the next Computational Wind Engineering Conference at the University of North Carolina in 2010. Before then the AAWE Workshop will be happening in Vail this August and you are encouraged to register and book your accommodation in the near future, via the AAWE website. We would also like to thank the three Major Sponsors of the Workshop, RWDI, CPP and High Velocity who are all helping significantly to keep the costs down for the event.
There are also a couple of technical notes pertaining to the motion of tall buildings in this Newsletter. Please contribute to the Notre Dame building motion perception survey noted at the top of page 2.
This Newsletter continues to need articles from the members. Please send publishable items to me at lcochran@cppwind.com as Word files and image files for us to review and place in future editions. I would also ask the members to encourage others interested in wind engineering to join AAWE, either as individuals or as a corporation. Pass this newsletter on to them so they can see what we do and encourage them to visit the website to become a member (note that the membership calendar year of 2008 now applies).
