Pratim K. Ghose, FICE, F.ASCE
Region 10 Governor Nominee

Vision Statement

I accepted the nomination, initially generated by the IAC Chair, only because I considered myself to fulfill all of the criteria for an elected Region 10 Governor as set out so clearly by the current Region 10 Chair.

My visions, if I am honored to be elected, are all based on recent email exchanges with the current Region 10 Chair. These in particular are:

• Region 10 is a new concept in the overall governance structure of the Society. As such, the Board of Governors is expected to set the direction of the Region, especially considering the various conditions of activities, and lack of such in some cases, of the current 31 International Sections and Groups. This is a challenge I can easily take up to:

           To help the Board of Governors improve the operations of Region 10.

• Since the Region was just created recently, the Chair has identified his major task is to come out with a Region 10 funding mechanism and budget to support the operations of the Board of Governors. In this regard, I can offer my expertise to the Chair:

           To assist the Chair in formulating a Region10 funding mechanism and budget.
