The Eastern Region held its meeting at Eldon House in London on 15 December. Again, there was liaison with the South East Region to discuss ways and means of developing a programme of activities for the coming year – any member living in the South East Region, please get in touch via the website. It was noted that the website had attracted a great deal of interest. The IMS Chairman’s discussion paper – proposals for consideration on restructuring – was debated
along with the IMS Strategic Review.
Members of the Eastern Region living in the Ipswich/ Colchester area will sad to learn of the death of Norman Hogg. Norman was head of the management school at the Ipswich Civic College. He was instrumental in organising the IMS qualifi cation courses. A Fellow of the Institute, he travelled widely on behalf of his pupils to introduce them to the world of productivity improvement. Even on holiday with his wife, he would visit
places to enrich his personal experience of improving productivity in different parts of the world.
His service was conducted by his brother-in-law, who had come over from America, who also outlined the determination of Norman to make the world a better place in which to work and live. He was a people person and could communicate at any level. The world is a sadder place without Norman Hogg. Our condolences were expressed to his wife at the funeral service.
