PEMAC

On behalf of the Board of Directors, each staff member and the many active PEMAC volunteers I would like to express that it has been a great pleasure for us to serve the association and its members in 2013 and to work with a growing list of partner organizations. 

Congratulations to the following individuals who were elected (or re-elected) to the PEMAC Board of Directors at the AGM which was held on November 17th, 2013 at the Sheraton Cavalier in Calgary, AB.

Directors

We have scheduled a series of 6 online Lunch and Learn events, one for each Canadian time zone, for the coming year as follows:

When we say we are about "maintenance and asset management" are we talking about two different, but interrelated, things? We should be.
 
Maintenance: All actions intended to retain an item in, or restore it to, a state in which it can perform a required function (Asset Management Council)

We have never stopped promoting "UPTIME: Strategies for Excellence in Maintenance Management" as the best reference book for those undertaking a journey towards excellence in maintenance, reliability and asset management. 

At its December 1st Annual General Meeting the PEMAC members voted to accept the nominations of the currently serving board members whose positions had expired and expanded membership on the Board by four people.

PEMAC Members now have access to a small but growing 'Knowledge Sharing' repository when they login to the members area of the website. 

Today we posted links to the recordings of the online Lunch and Learn events hosted in 2012:

Case Study: Establishing a Mechanical Integrity System for New Projects

We have over 900 members at October 10, 2012. Here they are grouped by region (the mapping program decided the regions arbitrarily) with some outliers in very interesting places!
