SAIMC: Ken Baker challenges all members

May 2021 SAIMC

CEO, Johan Maartens, recently received a correspondence from one of the SAIMC’s oldest members, Ken Baker. We thought it would be fun to publish it and invite you to send any similar ‘Down memory lane’ stories to [email protected].

Good day Johan.

For the record, I advise that I joined ICSSA (Instrument and Control Society of South Africa) 64 years ago. As you know ICSSA was the forerunner of SAIMC.

I was also president twice (in different years) and was the first general secretary to be appointed.

During my year in office, I introduced the first formal annual Council Dinner at the Inanda Club – prior to that the Johannesburg branch held dinner/dance affairs.

Can anyone out there equal that??

Best regards,

Ken Baker, HonFSAIMC.
