ACEC Manitoba is your association,<br />

we thrive and are effective only as a<br />

direct result <strong>of</strong> the combined efforts<br />

and participation <strong>of</strong> volunteers form<br />

our member firms. In the coming year,<br />

your association will be communicating<br />

with our membership in a more<br />

direct and regular way, to ensure<br />

that our members are well informed<br />

about the association’s activities<br />

and programs. In return, we will be<br />

asking for more interaction with the<br />

members. We need your feedback<br />

and comments on everything that we<br />

do. We want to know what issues our<br />

members are facing, and we need to<br />

respond quickly and in a meaningful<br />

way to those needs. We also need<br />

your help in volunteering on various<br />

committees and ad hoc committees.<br />

No one understands the needs <strong>of</strong> our<br />

businesses better than our members,<br />

no one can champion those issues<br />

better than our members.<br />

In concluding this message, I want<br />

to remind you that your association is<br />

here to promote the business interests<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Consulting Engineers <strong>of</strong><br />

Manitoba; and to promote the<br />

application <strong>of</strong> engineering for the<br />

benefit <strong>of</strong> society. We do this through<br />

uniting our member companies<br />

together for the common good,<br />

pooling your knowledge and expertise,<br />

and we do this through the generous<br />

support <strong>of</strong> our volunteers, and we<br />

encourage each <strong>of</strong> you to join with us,<br />

and take on an active responsibility<br />

to make our association, and our<br />

membership stronger.<br />
