I add of course, that those areas by no means exhaust everything that has been going on at the IICA this year, but simply reflect my particular focus right now. To begin with, on the 28th & 29th October we held a successful Federal Council In Person Meeting in Sydney. I really am pleased that Federal Council In Person Meetings will now be held in the city where the Federal President resides. To me this is a significant step in order to increase exposure of the Federal Council to local Branches and Members, particularly given the quite significant changes that are occurring at the Institute. It will provide an opportunity for us to market the Federal Council’s initiatives and in future provide a forum for local Branches to provide input and support to the Presidential candidate they had nominated. As such, I would encourage Local Branches to invite their Members to attend at least part of the In Person Meetings of Federal Council when held in their local cities. As advised earlier in the year the IICA has a ‘new look’ website. The most important thing about websites today is that they are without doubt, THE most critical first port of call for anyone even vaguely curious about an organisation. Websites therefore simply cannot afford to be anything less than totally professional, user friendly and always up dated if they hope to maintain interest. I believe the IICA site now ticks all the right boxes, so well done again to everyone involved! If you haven’t had a look around at the new site I encourage you to do so and any feedback is always welcome. While on the subject of ticking boxes, I find it heartening to see that this year has seen considerable progress made towards updating, refocusing and refining the Institute’s ‘look and feel’. Our flyers, logo, marketing and training information materials are well on the way to successful completion and now have a current look together with a much more simplified set of our core objectives, vision statement and information about who we are and what we are about. Concurrent with the updated and revised marketing and promotional materials we have also now completed the very necessary ‘tweaking’ of our Corporate Associates Program (CAP) Membership into the more broadly based Corporate Industry Program (CIP). I personally think if the IICA is to successfully meet the opportunities and challenges that the future will inevitably bring, we simply had to broaden our corporate appeal to include all the different potential groups we want to have represented under the IICA umbrella. The CIP certainly does that. If you would like more information on the Corporate Industry Program please contact Cathie Tynan, [email protected]The closer relationship the IICA has forged with PACE is yet another avenue for us to reach a wider audience - for our training courses as well as for new CIP and Individual Members. Alliances of this kind are always works-in-progress and this will be monitored to ensure we benefit in terms of our desired outcomes. While we are at present still bedding down the PACE arrangements, I am quietly confident this is a good fit for the IICA. I would like to thank Federal Council for the help and support I have received since taking over as President. Sincerest thanks to each of you! A heartfelt thank you to a number of persons I have had the pleasure to work particularly closely with. Thank you Dirk, Jason, Cathie and Maruta. I would like to wish all IICA Members a safe and restful Christmas and New Year and I look forward to a busy IICA year in 2012.

Measurement and Control Basics, 4th Edition Thomas A. Hughes
Ideal for classroom use or self-study,
this newly revised best-selling book
has provided thousands of students,
technicians, sales people, and others with
a practical introduction to the technologies,
systems, and strategies involved in
industrial process control. The fourth
edition takes the same proven intuitive
approach of previous editions. Each
chapter begins with basic definitions and
mathematical concepts that allow readers
to become well versed in the principles
necessary to understand the variables that affect process
control systems. New features in the fourth edition include
improved coverage of analytical measurement and control,
and the addition of sections on the international standard
for PLC languages; process visualisation; and personal
computer-based control systems. The book also includes
solutions to exercises that make it more suitable for self-

The IICA was again Silver Sponsorship of the Albury Wodonga Solar Car Challenge. This Challenge helps teenagers in Years 9 and 10 re-engage with school and discover a world of opportunity in local industry.
Winners were:1. Corowa High School2. Billabong High School3. Wodonga Middle Years Huon College.
The IICA Awards contributed to Albury High - Team Encouragement Award and Billabong High – Superior Craftsmanship. Unfortunately, during 2011 the Murray Region Branch closed and the existing Members have been absorbed into the Melbourne Branch.
