We have been working on a number of updates including the Membership Committee’s improvement survey which will help guide MESA programming, events, and member benefits into the future.  They are creating a big push to get our membership numbers up.  You might be surprised to know that our membership numbers are down even though monthly attendance is up.  So please take a minute to download and fill out the membership form, get the payment together and send it in.

The Board of Elevator Regulations has also been busy with that latest Construction Elevator Amendment, as well as making the MRL Guidelines Memo an official part of the 524 CMR.

The Golf Committee has reserved Sept. 9th as the date for the 3rd annual MESA Golf Outing at the and will hold 2008 pricing!  Mark your calendar and get your registration and payment sent in soon, we sold out quickly last year.  Returning golfers and sponsors will have early admission option prior to the June 1 open registration.  After June 1, it goes back to the first come, first serve program of years past.

Don’t forget the May 12th meeting at Phillips where K-Tech will be updating the group on their products and improvements.  There are a number of new postings on the MESA Calendar, so check it out!

Enjoy the Spring!
All the best,
Eric

January and February 2009

Hello everyone,

We started 2009 with renewed vigor!  We now have a Membership Committee and a team looking into how MESA can set up a rainy day fund to help assure the continuation of the Association.

The January meeting was a great catch up on events over the past few months as well as updates on new issues within the industry.  February saw Mr. Tom Warmingham make a great presentation about how some of the Go/No-Go guages are slightly ahead of the Code adoption.

Hope to see you in March for John O’Donoghue’s “Drop Key” presentation developed for the Fire Services of Massachusetts.  It should be very interesting.  Please have a look at the Calendar tab for up coming Code hearings, Task Group Meetings, and more.

All the best,
Eric
