Dear Members,

I consider it a great honour to be the Chairman of IIM, Mumbai Chapter.   I would like to thank all the members for giving me the opportunity to serve this august body.

As you all know that celebration of AMD-ATM is the most important programme arranged with help of a local chapter in the different parts of the country.  We are fortunate that NMD - ATM 2002 is being held at Baroda organized by Chapters of Baroda and Mumbai and with the support of M.S. University of Baroda.  Your Chapter is very actively involved in the organization of ATM part of the celebrations.   I request Chapter members to make this event a great success by participating as delegates/advertisers and by presenting technical papers.

Health of a professional body is gauged by its activities and the participation of its members in those activities.  I therefore request members to take part in big numbers in various programmes organized by the Chapter to make it more vibrant.   I would also call for suggestions from the member to improve upon the Chapters’ activities.

Communication with members is life line of an organization and every effort should be made to improve it.  I therefore request all the members to mail us their address/Email address if any, to enable us to contact them promptly.  It is also planned to start publication of “Newsletter” quarterly to inform the members about Chapter’s  activities  and  to  impart  latest developments  in  the  field  of  metallurgy.  Members  are  requested  to  send  technical   articles  for  the  publication  in  the  Newsletter.   We are also carrying the Newsletter in the web (website: http://www.oocities.org/iim_mumbai_chapter/) and that has also been made interactive.  I urge the members to utilize this for two-way communication.

I again solicit cooperation from the members to make this Chapter as the spoke chapter of IIM.
