CEO Chat (continued)


As far as IIMS is concerned, I have several wishes and aspirations for 2018. Our strategy is set out and contains some eye catching developments (some of which remain under wraps for a little while longer). Last year was a very progressive one featuring a lot of change. This year will be no different as we continue to ensure IIMS remains the recognised world leading professional body for marine surveyors. In no particular order of importance, here are the highlights I perhaps hope to be writing in twelve months’ time!


-


Formal conclusion of the ICD database project - Launch of another new App for IIMS members


- More great training delivered to surveyors around the world face to face and online


- Launch of the eCMID AVI CPD App and the growth of the eCMID community


- Online training and seminars delivered

an IIMS member just got easier! IIMS has launched a new benefit for its members. With immediate effect your IIMS web site listing can now be searched by geographic location using one of the new regional online maps we have created. The world has been divided into the following areas: Africa, Australasia, Europe, Middle East, Asia, United Kingdom, The Americas. So finding an IIMS member has become even easier. From our research, it became apparent that often people use the search facility to find a surveyor local to them. This new innovation makes that simple to do.


Every member is now represented on the maps with a unique red coloured pin by location. When hovered over, the pin shows the name of the member. When opened by clicking, it reveals the surveyor’s telephone number and specialisations (where appropriate).


IIMS asks you to do three things as a matter of urgency (using the links to the left):


1) Make sure you can find your own pin on one of the maps 2) Ensure that we have placed your pin in approximately the right geographic location 3) Open the pop up and check that the details that are displayed are correct


If something is incorrect, please email IIMS at info@iims.org.uk with your corrections.
