ASTM International Committee D35 on Geosynthetics is reaching a major milestone. During the January Committee Week gathering in Houston, Texas, the Committee will mark its 30th anniversary with a celebratory dinner. Committee D35’s standardization efforts have greatly helped develop the awareness, acceptance and use of geosynthetics. ASTM Committee Week will take place 29-31 January 2014 at the Hyatt Regency Houston.
The 30th anniversary dinner will be held on Thursday, 30 January 2014 at Vincent’s Restaurant from 6:00 – 9:00 pm (approximately 1.7 miles west of the event hotel). During the dinner, the Committee will acknowledge the significant achievements of D35, including a focus on members who have contributed greatly to the development of high-quality standards for the field of geosynthetics.
The cost of this event is $60.00 per person. Sponsorship is also being solicited to defray the cost.
