<strong>NIRMA</strong> President,<br />

Janice Hoerber<br />

• Promotion of <strong>NIRMA</strong> to increase membership,<br />

vendor exhibitors, business unit participation,<br />

sponsorships, and social media presence.<br />

• Further develop relationships with commercial<br />

entities, government agencies, and industry<br />

organizations such as the NRC, DOE, NEI,<br />

ASME, CMBG, NITSL, and others.<br />

The post-Symposium survey was very positive,<br />

along with great thoughts and ideas for improvement<br />

in the next symposium. Thank you! We ALWAYS<br />

value your feedback and thoughts on what <strong>NIRMA</strong><br />

can do better to benefit its membership and to<br />

expand the <strong>NIRMA</strong> audience.<br />

The reality is that a long-standing organization<br />

such as <strong>NIRMA</strong> must continue to widen the tent of<br />

<strong>NIRMA</strong> interests, topics, and exhibitors. It benefits<br />

us all to acknowledge what is coming in the nuclear<br />

power industry and to lean in on what it means for us<br />

in the years ahead. Sometimes it is exciting and<br />

sometimes it is concerning if we are worried where we<br />

fit into the future workforce. Regardless, it is going to<br />

be quite a ride if we look at the future on a positive<br />

note and adapt to change and new technology. It<br />

might even be better. We may look back with a smile<br />

wondering how in the world did we exist with the old<br />

ways and tools that once were.<br />

Janice Hoerber and Bob Larrivee<br />

are concluding their <strong>NIRMA</strong><br />

Board of Director terms in 2023<br />

with gratitude and great regard<br />

for <strong>NIRMA</strong>'s mission. All things<br />

must come to an end, and indeed<br />

that time has come. <strong>NIRMA</strong><br />

serves the industry once again at<br />

a great time in nuclear power,<br />

just as it did in 1976. Information<br />

will become an asset much like<br />

plant assets, and that is core<br />

business for <strong>NIRMA</strong>!<br />

Enjoy the ride.<br />
