NASF has hosted national political analyst Charlie Cook several times over the years for the annual NASF Washington Forum. While this key event was moved from this year to spring 2021 due to the pandemic, the association is pleased to welcome Charlie for a special “virtual” Washington Forum session this fall.
This will be the fifth in our series of NASF virtual Washington Forum events in 2020, and we invite all members to participate. We look forward to hosting this important discussion with one of the nation’s most trusted, non-partisan analysts of US politics and elections.
Charlie Cook Biography
Charlie Cook is the Editor and Publisher of The Cook Political Report, and a political analyst for the National Journal Group.
In 1984, Charlie founded the independent, non-partisan Cook Political Report. Now, with a staff of six, it is a publication that The New York Times once said was “a newsletter that both parties regard as authoritative” while CBS News’ Bob Schieffer called it “the bible of the political community.”
Al Hunt in The Wall Street Journal has referred to Cook as “the Picasso of election analysis.” In 2019, Cook was named co-author of the 2020 Edition of the Almanac of American Politics adding to his omniscient powers.
The late David Broder of The Washington Post, long considered ‘the Dean’ of the Washington press corps, once wrote that Charlie Cook is “perhaps the best non-partisan tracker of Congressional races.”
Charlie has appeared frequently on ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, and ABC’s This Week. Since the 1990s he has appeared over a dozen times on NBC’s Meet the Press. Over the years Charlie has served as an Election Night analyst for CBS, CNN, and NBC and, since 1996, on NBC News Election Night Decision Desk in New York.
In 2010, Charlie was the co-recipient of the American Political Science Association’s prestigious Carey McWilliams Award to honor “a major journalistic contribution to our understanding of politics.” In 2013, Charlie served as a Resident Fellow at the Institute of Politics at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

NASF NEW ENGLAND CHAPTER
SUMMER UPDATE 2020
First and foremost the entire Executive Board of the NASF New England Chapter sends their most sincere wishes that everyone and their families in the metal finishing community are all remaining healthy and vigilant through the global pandemic which we are experiencing. We all realize that these are difficult times that have been trying the inner fiber of not only our trade but society as a whole.
Here is a brief update on what has been happening and future events planned at both the local and national levels. As you know, we were forced to cancel our premier event on the association calendar, Suppliers Night, in April. We are happy to announce that that we were still able to award scholarships to deserving college bound students from within the NENASF membership community.
Looking forward to the fall, it does not appear that group gatherings as we have been accustomed will be allowed at that time. The Board has been busy researching alternative formats for the Fall Seminar currently scheduled for October 6th. As it stands right now we have four speakers that have volunteered to give presentations via a virtual webinar based Zoom format as a wastewater continuing ed event. The presentation will take place in early to mid October and will be comprised of a morning and afternoon session each of two hour duration for a total of four continuing ed contact hours. The DEP has indicated that they would be receptive to this method of educational program as long as frequent attendance verification is performed throughout the presentation(s). We will keep you informed as the summer progresses.
At the National level, even though SUR-FIN also had to be cancelled, the Policy Group has been hard at work keeping ahead of regulatory issues impacting our industry, and the educational branch of the NASF (AESF) is continuing to offer training opportunities for all members including CEF certification courses.
On behalf of the entire NENASF Executive Board have an enjoyable summer and, most importantly, remain vigilant and stay safe.
