the torch as AFS welcomed the new 2014-2015 AFS Board of Directors. Newly installed officers President Christopher Norch, Denison Indus- tries; Vice President Bruce Dienst, Simpson Technologies; and Second Vice President, Jeff Cook, Eagle Alloy, were welcomed at the AFS President’s Brunch on April 11.
