IMESA CONFERENCE
About us
IMESA President Address
Conference theme – Resilience is the Future
At this halfway mark for my term as IMESA president, it is encouraging to see that progress has been made in the objectives I set out to achieve, although there is still a lot of work to be done. One objective was to encourage all engineering personnel working at South Africa’s 257 municipalities to join IMESA, whether registered with ECSA as professionals or not.
