New Global Corrosion Cost Study Discussed at August Meeting in Malaysia

In collaboration with the NACE Inter-national Founding Malaysia section, NACE held a successful and informa-

tive meeting of like-minded profession-als on August 28, 2014 at the Prince Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This private meeting was organized for companies in Malaysia and Singapore to provide an up-date on the latest information on NACE activities globally and within the area, as well as an introduction to the International Measures of Prevention, Application, and Economics of Corrosion Technologies (IMPACT) study.

The event was attended by NACE Past President Elaine Bowman, manager of the IMPACT study; NACE East Asia and Pacific Area (EAPA) Director Michelle Lau; and NACE Chief Global Officer Del Doyle; as well as high-level professional represen-tatives from ABS, Aker Solutions, Bureau Veritas, PETRONAS, and the Institute of Engineers Malaysia.

The last corrosion cost study, sponsored by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration, was conducted in 2002. The results re-vealed that the United States spent more than $276 billion per year to fix corrosion issues and set up prevention measures. This equates to approximately 3% of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product, which can be ex-trapolated to many other countries as well.

Bowman explained that NACE’s efforts in ensuring accuracy and providing world-wide data for the current IMPACT study will need help from local industry leaders in the areas of oil and gas, marine, power and utilities and infrastructure, along with others. In coming together, these groups can help provide NACE with an overview of the issues each organization is fac-ing, as well as the costs involved in trying

to resolve or prevent those issues from happening.

The IMPACT study will allow the cor-rosion industry and its industry leaders worldwide to gain an insight into the det-rimental impact of corrosion on a global level and benchmark their organizations with other organizations around the world to see how they are faring against others in their costs for corrosion mitigation, main-tenance, and repairs.

Countries that are already involved in this study globally include China, Japan, India, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Australia, Middle East, United Kingdom, and the United States. We can now add Malaysia to that list as PETRONAS has verbally agreed to take the lead for the study in the oil and gas industry in this country (at the time of this writing).

Data collection for this study has already begun and is scheduled to end in June 2015 with the first release of the study to partici-pating organizations after October 2015 and thereafter to the public in March 2016.

Being one of the key areas of focus for NACE, the study has received positive feedback and partnerships from industry leaders. We look forward to more compa-nies’ involvement in the study and the op-portunity for them to have their company names be part of the mission to protect people, assets, and the environment from corrosion.

If your organization would like to be part of the study and you would like to have your company name recognized as a con-tributor, or if you have any questions re-lated to the study, please contact Michelle Tan at e-mail: [email protected] for further information.

The first Bring on the Heat (BOTH) conference in China was conducted in Shanghai July 9 to 10, 2014, orga-

nized jointly by NACE International and the CNOOC Changzhou Paint and Coating In-dustry Research Institute.

Approximately 200 guests, experts, and delegates coming from China, the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Holland, Norway, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong gathered for the two-day event, where they shared and exchanged informa-tion and experiences on the three topics of passive fire protection (PFP), corrosion un-der insulation (CUI), and high temperature-resistant coatings. The event resulted in three key conclusions by all participants: 1) huge market needs exist for PFP coatings; 2) the CUI issue is gaining significant high at-tention; and 3) the market for applying high temperature-resistant coatings is massive.

Huge Market Needs Exist for PFP CoatingsIn recent years, the domestic market has been redefining the product, performance, and application of fireproofing coatings with the development of new technologies. Government regulators and owners are all paying more attention to PFP coating prod-ucts on the current market.

At this conference, experts shared details on the quality systems of PFP coatings and relevant standards. Mr. Li Feng, President of Sichuan Fire Research Institute of MPS/National Center for Quality Supervision

and Testing of Building Fire Materials and co-chair of the conference, provided an overview on “Quality Requirement of Fire Coatings for Steel Structures Analysis of GB 14907 Fire Coatings for Steel Structures.”

The PFP session chair of this conference, Mr. Ian Rowell, who is the Director of Marketing and Business Development of Akzonobel China, gave a presentation on solutions and testing methods of “Fire Protection for Steel Structure in Hydrocarbon Based Fire Area.”

Mr. Andy Czainski, Director of PFP from Jotun, gave a detailed presentation on global “Hydrocarbon Fire Protection Standards,” stating the needs of selecting the right epoxy PFP, and elaborating on the similarity, dif-ference, and relevance of hydrocarbon fire protection standards among onshore, off-shore. and oil/gas facilities.

Mr. Samson Ho, the General Manager of Promal International Asia Pacific Ltd., talk-ed about the effects of the NFPA502 amend-ment on concrete fire production in tunnels. UL Project Engineer Hector Pan gave his speech on the UL1709 standard. This stan-dard mainly focuses on protecting rapidly heated flame, such as hydrocarbon fire, that the petroleum refining industry faces, defin-ing the heating curve, performance, testing method, and related product certification.

The development of the GB standard, “Coating Process for Hydrocarbon Based Fireproof Coatings,” was introduced by Mr. Su Chunhai, the Secretary General of the

sub-committee of Corrosion Protection System for Steel Structure of China National Technical Committee of Coating and Paint. Mr. Su also stated there is a relevant stan-dard on fireproof and corrosion protection as well as codes on coating technologies must be developed.

Mr. Zhang Guoqing from Pipeline & Anticorrosion Department of CNOOC Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd., pre-sented the development status quo in fire-proof coating and the high requirements to the suppliers. and Li Changlong from the Qingdao Subsidiary of Offshore Oil Engineering Co. Ltd., illustrated the appli-cation of PFP on offshore platform using the real-world case studies.

The rest of speakers at the PFP session pro-vided rich content on PFP equipment and technologies, implementation solutions, in-tegrating life cycle cost in design, etc.

CUI is Getting Significant AttentionRecent analysis points out that the loss caused by CUI amounts to billions of dol-lars every year in the petrochemical indus-try. Over the years, the petrochemical in-dustry in China had not been paying much attention to CUI issues, but rather focused only on insulation in the study of thermal field and on corrosion in the study of corro-sion. Ultimately, lots of facilities and equip-ment were damaged, and many incidents occurred that compromised safety. This BOTH China 2014 was the first time experts gathered to discuss the CUI issue in China.

Updates from FMSBy the FMS Committee

Member’s Corner: Have Your Say!A Continuous History with NACE International

By Suresh Iyer As a truly international organiza-tion, NACE International pro-vides numerous opportunities for

worldwide networking, as well expertise that can be brought to our local shores. The Founding Malaysia Section (FMS) meet-ing on May 16, 2014 was a perfect example of this.

Professor V.S. Raja from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT) was in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia shared a tech-nical presentation with the FMS members.titled, “Typical Case Studies of Industrial Corrosion Failure.” He presented case studies based on various types of failures and described the remedial actions en-gaged in order to improve and sustain our precious assets. Interesting and vastly in-formative examples were shared with our members. These case studies were mainly from the oil and gas industry, which cov-ered assets such as a fire water pump, pow-er boiler, condenser tubes, HP heater, and the pressure vessel of a catalytic perform-ers unit.

The two hours of discussion were not only impressive, but also gave attendees three key takeaways:• Discover how to improve productivity

and efficiency throughout the life cycle of our assets.

• Learn how precise solutions can low-er costs and improve overall asset performance.

• Experience how material selection prac-tices can increase your effectiveness and help you better manage energy and ma-terials costs

The benefits of our international network do not end here. NACE is also a melt-ing pot where professionals interested in the corrosion industry gain keen insight from our certification programs. For three consecutive weeks in June, the Cathodic Protection (CP) Training and Certification Program was held in Kuala Lumpur—two weeks of CP1 Tester and CP2 Technician, followed by the CP1 exam, which was held in-house specifically for Petronas.

The classes included students from Australia, Egypt, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, and Singapore, as well as students from the local area. Our approved NACE instructors—John Chase from the United Kingdom, FMS Trustee Bob Phang, and Charlie Henderson from Canada—also represented our international knowledge base. They delivered classroom training with a focus on both practical and full hands-on site skills. A field trip was con-ducted at the purpose-built test site, where students were given access to typical CP system installation. As one of the students, it gave me not only theoretical know-now, but allowed me to physically experience and understand how professionals and certified personnel in the field deal with protecting our valuable assets from the ef-fects of corrosion.

My name is Suresh Iyer and I have more than 20 years of multinational experience in vari-ous countries in Southeast Asia, China, the Middle East, and Africa in all types of coat-ings, PFP, and insulation work both onshore and offshore. My experience includes project management, auditing, and vendor evalua-tion/ recruitment, EPC contracts, and QA/QC functions and consulting.I was born and educated in India as a chemical engineer and happened to land in the corro-sion profession by chance. Since then, I have never felt the need to change my career at any point. I moved to Singapore after completing my first paint job in the Middle East, where I was a BGas Level 2 Inspector.It was here in Singapore that I completed my NACE Coating Inspector Program Level 1, 2, 3, and Peer Review. I did it all in one go over the span of two months. That was 1996–al-most a decade ago. I remembered it being very taxing, but I would not swap this valuable ex-perience for anything else.I worked in many countries, but no matter where I was, I always kept contact with corro-sion professionals through NACE. From the valuable and timely advice given by contrib-uting members, I was able to solve many in-tricate problems in my projects and achieved rapid recognition in the industry. I am cur-rently a coating specialist in FPSO conversion projects and I am currently working on my seventh FPSO. I have never seen an association as helpful as NACE, in terms of focusing on helping all of its members, while also protecting the public and the environment from corrosion. Many like me sincerely thank NACE members for the contributions they are making in miti-gating corrosion. I would recommend that all members log onto the NACE Corrosion Network list server, available in the Corrosion Central area of the NACE website. The com-munity there is always glad to lend a helping hand and guide the entire corrosion control family with any issues that you may have.

We invite contributions to Member’s Corner. Please send your comments to Michelle Tan at [email protected]

NACE EAPA Chairman’s Message

Dear fellow members and officers of the EAPA:

The past year was a memorable one for the NACE International East Area and Pacific Rim Area (EAPA). I am delighted to report on some of our ac-tivities in my first newsletter message as 2014 chair.

Our representative, Mr. Tushar Javeri, was elected as the very first president of NACE International from this area outside of the United States or Europe.

I have no doubt that this is the result of the efforts he and all preced-ing officers have continually made to grow the activity of the area, and thus contribute to the impressive growth we experienced in a short period of time among the eight NACE areas around the world.

In 2010, the total number of the NACE members was 23,006 and as of Fall 2014, it has grown to more than 34,000.

In the meantime, our steady growth was reflected in the area annual conference as well. Having started in Malaysia in 2008, the annual EAPA conferences have been steadily expanding. Our activities are run not only by one or two countries, but by all the sections that are eagerly and positively participating in the EAPA.

Over the next couple of years, we should aim to extend section activ-ities to the other countries in the EAPA and develop them into con-sistent local activities. Let’s continue to move forward to protect the environment of the world from corrosion with our Oriental spirits.

Looking forward to working with you all.

Sincerely,

Toyoji Takeuchi

Guangdong/Hong Kong Section Initiative

NACE Training Program Targets Offshore Structures

In order to establish a prac-tical protocol for NACE Coating Inspector Program

(CIP)- certified inspectors to ex-change technical information/experiences, improve career development, keep NACE-certified inspectors at the forefront of anticorrosion inspection engineering in Chi-na, enhance NACE visibility, and learn about the latest corrosion control development and needs in china, the NACE Guangdong/Hong Kong Section (GD/HK) initiated the establish-ment of a NACE CIP alliance and convened its first organizing committee meeting on July 29, 2014 in Shanghai, China.

Prior to this first organizing committee meet-ing, the GD/HK Section had conducted a sur-vey among more than 116 NACE CIP 3-certi-fied inspectors, and received 102 responses supporting the idea of the initiative. Over the past months, the organizing committee was formed and committee members diligently reached out to individuals and companies to gather the actual needs and expectations. As a result, this first organizing committee meet-ing was held to discuss the formation of the initiative.

Eight out of 13 organizing committee members came from various parts of China to attend the July 29 meeting. The objectives, format, initial phases of preparations, activities, etc. were fully discussed; industrial needs were shared; and ideas and suggestions were brainstormed at the meeting. The committee members unani-mously agreed on the process and procedure to move ahead and decided to meet again to elect the officers of the committee. Additionally, each committee member shared his/her com-pany/organization’s status quo and actual needs. They also fully expressed their passion and enthusiasm in supporting and contrib-uting to an initiative that will benefit NACE members, companies, and industries.

The official launch of this initiative is expected sometime in November 2014. Please stay tuned for following news, and we look forward to CIP-certified professionals joining this initia-tive to grow together!

Calling all offshore personnel! NACE International has the perfect professional develop-

ment program for you that can open doors to more job opportunities and greater earning potential.

The Offshore Corrosion Assessment Training (O-CAT) course is a five-day intensive program addressing the el-ements of in-service inspection and maintenance planning for fixed off-shore structures.

The most obvious consideration for corrosion control of offshore structures is the marine environment in which they operate. The offshore installations are built for exploration and produc-tion, and are later replaced by produc-tion platforms. These are supported by other infrastructure, including the ships and aircraft that transport people and supplies to the platforms, and pipe-lines that transfer the product back to refineries and other users onshore. An offshore platform has significant ex-posure in seawater immersion, splash zone, and salt air, and must be protect-ed from corroding.

The O-CAT course also addresses the Minerals Management Services (MMS) A-B-C facility evaluation grading sys-tem requirements for Level I inspec-tion reporting. The course is valuable to anyone involved in the corrosion control facet of integrity management of fixed offshore structures.

The course covers the following topics:• Corrosion & Corrosion Control • Protective Coatings Systems • Splash-Zone Systems • Cathodic Protection Systems • Regulatory Issues • Corrosion Prevention Maintenance

Programs • Facility Breakdown • Condition Grading Systems • Data Collection & Management

Systems • Assessment Standards • Safety • In-Service Evaluation Equipment • Inspection Planning • MMS Level 1 Inspections (ABC

Grading) • Data Utilization• Maintenance Planning

INTERNATIONAL


The NACE International Gateway India Section (NIGIS) organized a workshop on Corrosion Manage-

ment on September 26, 2014 at the ITC Grand Bay hotel.

The program, held in Vizag, was attended by more than 80 delegates from the industry, including HPCL, NTPC, BHEL, VCTPL, Vedanta, Akzo Nobel, Owens Corning, ONGC, Indian Oil, Maritime University, and Eastern Naval Command.

The inaugural function was attended by guests from the U.S. Embassy—Consul General Michael Mullins (U.S. Consulate General, Hyderabad) and Minister Counselor for Commercial Affairs John McCaslin from U.S. Commercial Service, U.S. Embassy, New Delhi. The func-tion was also attended by NIGIS Chair Dr. Samir Degan, B. Ramakrishna (MD Protective Coatings, Akzo Nobel India), and Commodore Hemant Khatri (Headquarters Eastern Naval Command).

Also present were Mr. Sankaran (Head of BHPV-BHEL); Mr. Sushil Mulchandani (CEO of VCTPL); Mr. Sandeep Saxena (Country Development Manager, NACE International), Mr. Ramesh S. (Head Indian Maritime University, Vizag Campus); Mr. John Fleming; Ms. Sathya Prabha; Ms. Malarvizhi Parimel (all from the U.S. Commercial Services Office); and Mr. Sabharwal (Vizag Industrial Scan).

The NACE Gateway India section was formed in 1992 and has since been actively engaged with the industry in its mission to protect people, assets, and the environment from corrosion. The section engages with professional members (which number over 1,300 in India) through education programs, certifications, and technical conferences.

India’s 22nd annual corrosion conference, CORCON 2014, will be held in Mumbai at the Grand Hyatt November 12 to 15. It is supported by FICCI, the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises Government of India, and the U.S. Commercial Services arm of the U.S. Trade

Department.

With members in 119 countries, NACE International is the world’s largest corrosion society and serves the IMO as a source of corrosion expertise. By including NACE as a resource, the IMO acknowledges the need to provide greater corrosion prevention and mitigation guidance to the world’s shipping industry.

By way of noting the significance of corro-sion to the shipping industry, it is widely re-ported that as much as 25% of a ship’s main-tenance budget may be spent on controlling corrosion.

The IMO is a specialized agency of the United Nations with 168 Member States and three Associate Members, and is head-quartered in London. Its primary mission is to create a comprehensive body of interna-tional conventions with measures aimed at the safety of life at sea, including standards for ship design, construction, equipment, operation, and manning.

The IMO also adopted the new Performance Standard for Protective Coatings (PSPC), as resolution MSC.215(82). This important standard is included in the International Convention on Safety of Life at Sea (the SOLAS Convention). The PSPC is intended to improve the safety of life at sea by reduc-ing the corrosion encountered in steel ships, and applies specifically to the protective coatings used for dedicated seawater ballast tanks in all types of ships. NACE has been involved throughout the development and adoption of the PSPC.

With over 34,000 members, NACE is recog-nized as the largest organization in the world dedicated to the science and practical infra-structure issues related to corrosion. Over the past 25 years, NACE has trained nearly 20,000 coatings inspectors worldwide in its well-recognized NACE Coating Inspector Program (CIP).

NACE also released its CIP Level 2, mari-time emphasis training designed specifically to meet the needs of the PSPC standard.

NACE International, The Corrosion Society, based in Houston, Texas, is recognized worldwide as the largest professional asso-ciation dedicated to alleviating the expen-sive and unsafe impact of corrosion on criti-cal global infrastructure. It was founded in 1943, and offers technical training and cer-tification programs, sponsors conferences, and produces industry standards, reports, publications, and software to prevent and mitigate corrosion.

NACE Membership Recognition

It is that time of year where NACE Inter-national would like to express its grati-tude to our longstanding members in

the EAPA for their endless support, loyalty, and contributions to the corrosion com-munity. This year’s recipients should have received their honorary badges for five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35-year pins and certifica-tions. To those who haven’t, please feel free to write to [email protected].

The number of outstanding members in the community is a lasting reminder that NACE International membership carries weight in today’s industries and serves as an indica-tion that NACE memberships carry nu-merous benefits that surpass the materials given at the time of application. Every year, NACE recognizes those who have exempli-fied themselves in service, leadership, and fellowship.

NACE’s individual and corporate member-ships allow members to enhance their ca-reers with education programs, standards, reports, papers, and the like to improve the quality, safety, and reliability of the indus-tries. These will elevate member profession-als to be recognized as part of the premier authority for corrosion control solutions.

Congratulations to this year’s recipients. Following are quotes from some of our members about their experience with NACE.

“Being part of the NACE family for 20 years has brought numerous rewarding profession-al relationships and friendships within the corrosion field across the globe. The opportu-nities of working and building NACE in India and the EAPA have contributed to these re-lationships and I look forward to many more as NACE grows further in India and the EAP Area.” –Dr. Samir Degan, India

“Being a NACE member for over 15 years has allowed me to interact with expert peers in the field of coatings and helped me to expand my knowledge and exposure to new trends. It has also helped me professionally to develop my career and I cannot think of any other ca-reer where I would have excelled except in this field.” –Suresh Iyer, India

“Officially, I am a recognized NACE member for 10 years, but in fact I was already an ac-tive member during my inspection stint in the Middle East way back in 1994. It is truly a de-light being part of this worldwide professional organization and I look forward to more exciting years with NACE!” –Gil Dolon, Hempel A/S, Shanghai, China

“It has been an excellent journey being part of NACE for the past five years….it has certainly opened many new doors. The journey started with my being a strong advocate and believer of NACE standards—participating as a del-egate at NACE events, to presenting papers, exhibiting at NACE conference, taking NACE courses, authoring a new NACE course, in-structing NACE course several times, and fi-nally receiving the “Distinction in Corrosion Awareness” NACE award in 2013. I look for-ward to taking this relationship with NACE to further heights!” –Ashish Khera, New Delhi, India

“I am extremely grateful and humbled by this opportunity to have come a long way with NACE and it has most definitely been a pleasant and rewarding journey! It is truly my privilege to be a part of the NACE family!” –T.S. Ang, Corrpro Asia, Singapore

“Training and education have been the hall-marks of NACE in my 30 years with the or-ganization. I have put scores and scores of my staff through various NACE courses and certification programs over the years. All have benefited immensely, and not only in the learning, but just as importantly, the global recognition of a NACE certification.” –Edgar Lewis, TD Williamson, Singapore

“As a member of NACE since 1997, I discov-ered how large of an influence we have in the corrosion field as a professional or specialist in this area. It helped me to have a high level of motivation to develop corrosion handling activities in my country. Although I was a president of the corrosion association in my country, I am proud to be a NACE member. Thank you for all that you offer.” –Bambang Widyanto, Indonesia

“NACE offers valuable networking and dis-cussions with like-minded people who have a passion for corrosion mitigation.” –Nick Subotsch, Peerless Industrial Systems, Australia

“NACE has offered me many opportunities to bolster my professional development over many years. The resource base in regards to materials is a significant resource that I use frequently. I feel that being a member of NACE gives me an advantage in gain-ing knowledge.” –Christopher C. Berndt, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia

“Throughout my career in corrosion control and wherever I may have been, it has been great to know that the collective knowledge and support of NACE, its employees, and members has been at hand to lend support when needed.” –T revor Goss, JST Group, Thailand

“All my working life I have been in the coat-ing industry, and my journey throughout has been very rewarding in becoming a NACE-certified Coating Inspector. It has allowed my knowledge and understanding of coatings to grow and has also encouraged younger mem-bers to strive to achieve their highest goal, and exhibit the utmost respect and appreciation for the NACE ethical standards, while re-membering always that it is a privilege, not a right, to represent NACE. For the remainder of my working life, I would like to continue my journey with NACE.” –Matthew R. Boyle

“I am truly honored to be in the NACE family serving members from many levels; sharing, educating, empowering the younger genera-tion with skills and knowledge to combat cor-rosion.” –Bob Phang, Aurecon, Australia


“It’s Just Going to be a Half Hour…” An Interview with Cris Conner, Past TCC Chairman and fellow NACE member since 1980By Michelle Tan

Getting ahold of Cris Conner was easy. A couple of email exchanges later, I found out that he was heading to Houston, Texas for the Board of Director’s meeting in June 2014. He agreed to meet me then; however, getting him to give me 30 minutes for an interview turned out to be the hard part. Conner, past chair of the NACE Technical Coordination Committee, was a sharply dressed, busy man. When I finally did get to sit down with him, he said to me, “You’re cutting into my cocktail time, better make this fast!” I hooked up the computer close to him to record our conversation and asked if he wanted some coffee. He declined while making himself comfortable, after which I started the interview.Conner was born in Anchorage, Alaska at Elmendorf Air Force Base. He lived all over the United States before moving to Houston, Texas in 1968. Cris finally settled down in St. Louis, Missouri, due in part to the superiority of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team over the Houston Astros. That was now 34 years ago and he hasn’t moved since. In a minor interruption, Robin Frye (NACE Sr. Industry Manager) came by to say her goodbyes, during which I found out that Cris had lived just a little over 10 miles from where she was. It’s a small world when it comes to the NACE community!Conner started with NACE International while working for Carboline in 1977. “It was almost a requirement for anyone working in the technical side in Carboline to be a NACE member and to join NACE technical committees. So I did, and I liked it enough to continue on my own volition. In 1990, I moved on to the applicator side where I re-main now. Our company applies coatings for electric utilities, transformers, circuit breakers, and high-voltage sub-stations,” he stated. I asked if he had any work-related men-tors and he mentioned that he had a lot in Carboline, Canada including John Trim

(past NACE president), Doug Downing (past NACE area director), and Steve Poncio (past NACE treasurer), who were instru-mental in his involvement with NACE. “They’ve encouraged me to get involved with technical committee work, under-standing the importance of standards in the industry and pointing out the importance of what NACE does,” he said. I thanked him for his volunteerism and he said, “Sure,” to which I laughed.During his term as chairman of TCC, Conner started a conversation about how they had to get international members to have a fair representation within the TCC. “Everyone was excited about the concept, with how fast the international member-ship was growing. The challenge was how to go about getting it implemented and how the STAG (Specific Technology Advisory Group) was not going to conflict with any existing task groups,” he said. “Brian Saldanha and Tom Weber really managed to pull this off during their term as TCC chairs. They did a fabulous job! They were able to travel extensively to that region and were able to engage members and draw them in to become part of the committees. It was perfect for them! So there are now op-portunities for our international members to participate fully in technical committees and standards development.”I had asked him about how much time it must’ve taken him to be this active within NACE, while balancing his day job and his family life. “It was very difficult when my children were young. But they’ve grown now, and are out of the house, so my wife and I have more quiet time to ourselves.” I asked how he balances ambition and humil-ity and it didn’t take him a split second to say, “I don’t. What humility? Churchill once said about Clement Attlee, ‘He’s a modest man, who has much to be modest about,.’ I’m a shameless self-promoter.” He laughed as he said, “I have no humility.”

At this point in the interview, I told him that we were going to play a game. I was going to start a sentence and he would help me finish it in his own words. He groaned, “Oh, this is trouble.” I promised him it wouldn’t be that bad and it really wasn’t.He did surprise me when he said his favor-ite song of all time is “Feed the Birds,” made popular in the famous movie Mary Poppins. Jokingly, he threatened to end the interview when I said I have never watched the movie. He thought there was too much corrosion in the world and that money could not buy an uninterrupted commute on Houston’s busy I-10 freeway at 5.30 in the evening, as he looked out the window. He always buys bourbon with his favorite being Maker’s Mark, which he drinks on-the-rocks. He thinks there’s nothing wrong with ci-gar smoking because “it doesn’t carry as much health risk as smoking cigarettes and [he] loves to sit in a particular room in his house just to have a cigar.” He had his ga-rage turned into a cigar-smoking, bourbon-drinking room complete with brick walls, leather chairs, and excellent ventilation. He showed me a picture of the room and I wasn’t surprised to see a picture of Winston Churchill hung upon his wall, as well as an extensive collection of cigars in a glass case cabinet. Needless to say, I was impressed. I asked him if he regretted anything in his life and he quickly said, “I’m passing on this question! I try not to regret anything. I may look back and… regret but I try not to.” He added that he’s learned a lot from having children, though was reluctant to elaborate on it.Conner looks up most to Sir Winston Churchill. I asked for another quote, after which he told me one about Lady Astor. “See, they didn’t get along too well, and she said to him, ‘Sir Winston, if you were my husband, I’d put poison in your tea’ and Churchill replied, ‘If you were my wife, I’d drink it.’” We laughed, and he went on a rant about

Continued on p. 13


how Sir Winston Churchill had lost out to Einstein in Time Magazine’s Person of the Century award, with valid points, I might add. Obviously, Conner thought Churchill deserved the award more than Einstein did. He seemed well-versed in this subject and I cleverly chose not to debate with him. Conner quoted NACE Board member Jane Brown as saying that NACE members re-spond well to free drinks and food. “She told me that you’ll be amazed at how many more people would show up to the Central Area Conference if they had offered free drinks and food.” He grinned, but quickly added, “Now, I have a lot of respect for NACE mem-bers, it was just funny when it was said.” When asked why NACE members should participate and join TCC, he responded, “It is important for NACE members to have an input and an influence on corrosion stan-dards as opposed to having them regulated by agencies and governments from around

the world.” After a pause, he added, “I hope that TCC would be more involved in ISO ac-tivities and have more acceptance from the ISO community because NACE does have world-class standards when it comes to cor-rosion in the world.”It was almost time to end the interview when I asked him a question (that had been posed by our previous interviewee) on who he had thought was the best TCC member who graduated from Klein High School in Houston. This drew a long laugh from him. “Let’s see…,” he thought. “There’s me… and there’s Drew Hevle… I’ve got to say it’s Drew.” I was actually shocked by his humil-ity since he said he had none a moment ago. He continued, “I have a lot of respect for Drew. He’s a true technical guy and I’m not really a technical guy, I’m not an engineer. I bring organization to my role, setting objec-tives, keeping people on track, bringing up the right people and providing the vision but

Drew… Drew’s the technical guy.”At this point, he let out a huge sigh of relief when I told him that the interview was over. I thanked him for taking time out of his busy schedule for me and expressed my ap-preciation for his participation. He returned my thanks with thanks of his own and said, “I have to say, I not only have respect for NACE members, but also have huge respect for NACE staff. Including people like you, who always go above and beyond their job responsibilities to make everything bet-ter. That’s the key to the success of NACE International!” Well, thank you for the kind words Cris Conner! We at NACE appreciate you and all our volunteers for all you’ve done for the association. Stay tuned for our next is-sues where we throw unorthodox interview questions at the big names of NACE. We’ll see how they fare!
