Some changes and improvements are planned for the Durban and Cape Town regions. The Cape Town region is barely alive but with the new energy and focus that the SAIMC has, we are taking pro-active steps in ensuring the longevity of that branch. So if you live in these areas keep your eyes and ears open on how the SAIMC will benefit you, our members.
In all our areas we have new chairmen running the branches. When I look at all the chairmen and their committees, I know that the SAIMC is in for some exciting times. There is so much energy currently, which if released all at once, would cause serious damage to your health. Jokes aside, with some focused attention and correct channelling the SAIMC is set to become a force within the I&C domain. Join and pay your subs so that you can benefit from the SAIMC!
Apart from our members that benefit, we are looking at how we are going to add value to our Patron members, and in turn how they will add value to the SAIMC. Most of the Patrons already add value by granting their staff time off work to attend meetings, sponsoring golf days, sponsoring the annual banquet etc. For those members that do not know whether the company you work for is a Patron member or not, here is a list:
Adroit Technologies
Raylite Batteries
Protea Automation Solutions
Siemens
N & Z Instrumentation
Citect
Ram-Tec Systems
Illovo Sugar Technical Services
Sinolec Electrical Supplies
Festo

I would like to thank our Patron members for their loyal support of the SAIMC.
For all the branches – please note that to unseat the Johannesburg branch as branch of the year you will have to start making your plans, engaging your members, keeping records etc. Good luck to all, and hopefully it will be such a close race that council has to apply the discretionary points to identify a winner.

“Never have so many owed so much to so few.” This phrase is a famous quote by Winston Churchill, referring to the efforts of the Royal Air Force pilots who fought in the Battle of Britain during World War II. It highlights the immense gratitude owed to the relatively small number of pilots who played a crucial role in defending the United Kingdom from the German Luftwaffe.
