Join the AMPP U.S. Military, Government Civilian & Veterans Community of Interest
An AMPP Community of Interest (COI) is a group of individuals with a common shared interest, either technical or social. The U.S. Military, Government Civilian & Veterans COI is a platform for active-duty members and veterans of the U.S. military, as well as government civilians, to connect with peers who are active in the coatings and corrosion industry. This is a space for members with similar backgrounds, who are new to the industry and would best relate to you all to be successful in their line of work. There will be open-ended discussion threads, Q&A opportunities, and a space to share upcoming events that may appeal to members of this community. We hope that you can take time to connect with peers on this platform, consider mentoring others and invite anyone who you think will find value here. Thank you all for your service to our country, past and present, and for continuing to support our industry with your expertise.
