IBG - SA Instrumentation & Control Buyers' Guide

April 2009 SAIMC

Well, what does this mean to me?

When I look back at the list of past presidents from our early beginnings, the first president being elected back in 1958, I realise that the Institute has entered its 51st year of existence. That alone is an achievement to be proud of.

I then reflect on who these people are and the professional positions they held in this prestigious industry where I myself have been employed for the past 30 years. I have personally worked very closely with a number of them and, in some cases over the years, reported directly to a number of them.

They have all been leaders, mentors and custodians of our industry; people that we have all respected and sought advice from at some time or another.

One cannot help but realise how much the industry has developed and changed over the past 50 years and how our institute has had to adapt itself accordingly.

I wish to thank each and every one of the past presidents for leading and developing the Institute into its current respected body – the Institute of choice for those working in this unique industry.
