President's Column

The Last Word

Engineers Sydney - December 2011 Newsletter

I can't believe this is my last column! I've had such a wonderful time this year and I would like to thank you for giving me this amazing opportunity. Thank you for taking part, and teaching me. This year has shown me just how broad engineering is, and what truly great work engineers do. The best part has been meeting the people that make this profession the great profession that it is.
 
A recent example is the opportunity I had to visit Dubbo in the State's west. Stewart McLeod, the Chair of the Dubbo Group, kindly took me around Dubbo, not only showing me the innovative engineering that Dubbo engineers are conducting in sites such as the Apex Oval, but also a tour of the Dubbo Zoo, which is taking part in the conservation of Tasmanian Devils (an infectious cancer is quite rapidly diminishing numbers).

I also attended the Dubbo Group's end of year dinner with a presentation from a regional company that is investing in new technologies in regional areas. I would like to thank Stewart, Jill Kilby, and the Dubbo Group for making my visit truly memorable. As next year is the Year of the Regional Engineering Team, I hope that many of our members take the time to visit the regional areas.
