- The Indian RP Society is putting forward a case to become a
full member of GARPA. With over 200 members, it demonstrates the
large amount of activity in India should provide a valuable
resource to GARPA. The society is heavily associated with the
forthcoming manufacturing technology conference called TEAMTECH
2006, to be held at the end of February, see details.
- The RTAM committee of the SME in the US has recently agreed
that the immediate past chairman will become the GARPA liaison in
future. This means that the new GARPA liaison for 2006 will be
Scott Schermer (SWScherm@scj.com). One of his jobs will be to
advise in the setting up an RP sub-committee for the SME Chapter
219, which is the Singapore Chapter. This is hopefully to become
the Singapore RP society that will eventually become yet another
GARPA member.
