Letter From the Executive Director
Catherine Flaherty
Hello PCMI Members,
I hope you, your family, and your colleagues stay healthy as we continue to navigate COVID-19. There is hope on the horizon as we see vaccines start to roll out, but we still have some time before life will get back to normal.
During this challenging year, the PCMI Management Team has continued to work on your behalf to ensure that you receive the membership benefits and services worthy of your investment.
The publication of this second 2020 Journal is but one sample of the membership services we have provided. We have also published industry reports, a membership directory, continued to share sales leads and conducted our first-ever Virtual Conference, which was a great success, thanks mainly to our Virtual Conference Committee. We could not have made it without their help, assistance, and guidance. The Committee members include:
• David Allen, Cranfield University
• Phil Greiner, Photofabrication Engineering
• Peter Jefferies, Heatric, Division of Meggitt
• Eric Kemperman, Etchform BV
• Michael Lynch, United Western Enterprises, Inc.
We are now getting ready for the Spring 2021 Technical Conference. We hope to gather in Germany for an in- person meeting in May. However, if COVI9-19 prevents our travel, we will again pivot and conduct a virtual program that will offer the same high-quality technical sessions, plus opportunities for you to interact with, see and talk to your colleagues.
In the interim, we hope you will take advantage of one of the new and FREE membership benefits. The New Product Spotlight showcases a member’s product and capabilities. Each spotlight includes the product photo, description, and the company website link, which provides tracking abilities. These are added to the PCMI website and shared on the Institute’s social media platforms. To have your product featured, click here.
Best Regards and Happy Holidays!
Catherine Flaherty PCMI Executive Director
