As the Executive Officer of the SAIMC, I wish to say hello to you all from the President, Council Members and Secretariat of the South African Institute of Measurement and Control.
South Africa is faced with many important issues in the drive to re-establish its foundations and provide security and wealth for the future of all its citizens. One of the most important issues in the foundation building for the future is, not just the establishment of technology, but the firm establishment of the new leading edge technologies. Industrially, control systems and instrumentation lead the way. Without our technological skills, industry will only stagger along and have little future progress. However, those technological skills lose much of their value to South Africa, and us, if they are not coordinated and focused into a consolidated effort.
In this respect the Institute of Measurement and Control offers this consolidation and focusing by assisting our members to improve their relationship within industry, with one another and on a fundamental personal basis. The sharing of friendship, knowledge and experience at branch meetings and the availability of knowledge and technical information from the Institute itself. The use of the SAIMC Internet site (www.saimc.org.za).
Your membership also includes staying up to date with the free monthly issue of the SA Instrumentation and Control magazine with leading editorials on our technology. Together with its sister magazine, the SA Instrumentation and Control Buyers' Guide, the latest systems, instruments and supplier/manufacture listings are available to you, as a member.
Most important of all, the significant patronage of South Africa's systems and instrumentation companies, project houses and major user groups as members of the Institute, provide a solid foundation that the Institute and its members can rely on for their technological support and advice in the rapidly changing world of technology.
In other words, can you as the individual company, engineer, technician, designer and CAD operator afford not to be part of the Institute of Measurement and Control? Can you afford not to be part of South Africa's future?
Become a member of the SAIMC and play a role in substantiating your future in industry. By being a member of the SAIMC you strengthen the Institute and allow the Institute to play a more powerful role in establishing the industrial strength of South Africa.
May we at the SAIMC wish you all the very best.
