This course will cover various aspects of gravel/chip sealing systems (sometimes referred to as seal coats or surface dressing) by considering site assessment and sealing system selection. Asphalt materials selection and compatibility

The WEB is getting a helping hand
|
Janis, from ManageWise, is now providing able assistance in maintaining our website. This should help the site stay more current and help Kathy and I where we had pesky webby issues that kept
cropping up. This new Newsletter format is also with Janis’ assistance.
We're accepting suggestions for names for the newsletter. Send over your ideas
, and feel free to contact Janis with any feedback in regards to the newsletter or the website at
janis@managewise.ca.
|
We have opened a Book Store
|
Need an extra copy of proceedings? The bookstore is now up at least in beta version to help people be aware and find the place to purchase proceedings. We are also experimenting with putting up
individual papers for download (for a fee). MEMBERS can download for free from within the members portal! It is currently located for public access under About > Facts or
click here. When logged in to the members area it is on the ribbon bar or there is a badge on the members screen linking to the store.
|
Membership Certificates and Cards
|
General members can now download membership certificates and membership cards from their profile area (My Account > Membership). They are still being tweaked a bit, but they are there for those
that want to show off their membership in the Association. Once they are more final they will be available for Honourary, Sustaining, and Student membership categories.
Abstracts Online
While we have had our technical papers online for almost a decade available to the membership, we have started to prepare copies of abstracts accessible on the public side of the website. The links are built into the
abstract index assessed under the
About > Facts pages of the web site.

One of the changes under the new membership system is simple terminology and processes for members who have not paid their dues for the current year. While the internal processes may change slightly
in alignment with the new software the impact to the member is similar.
Dues not paid by March/April of the current year results in the membership being flagged as lapsed. Once payment is lapsed members will no longer have access to the members’ portal or be eligible for member pricing, for example.
The new system will be set up to redirect lapsed members to the dues payment screens. Email reminders were also automated this year, so you should have seen a series of renewal reminders from January through March (4 emails). If you did not see reminder emails
your server may be blocking emails from the system, check with your IT department.
As before, those members who have lapsed will not be included in the member directory (online/app or proceedings).

Three Canadian Technical Asphalt Association scholarships were awarded again this year under the categories of Applied, Undergraduate, and Graduate. The awards are each for $2,000 and are intended to assist those individuals
pursuing studies in asphalt technology.

PLEASE log in to the
members area and make sure your contact information is up to date. We have noticed that when we migrated to the new system, home phone numbers and work phone numbers got mixed up for many members! Please login to the website and update your profile so
your contact information is correct when published in the upcoming proceedings.

As noted in the
July Newsletter, 2018 has established a new level of commitment for sustaining members having committed to the sustainability of our Association. These members will soon have their own CTAA graphics they can use to show off that support.
