Dear Member
Since the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the ICT and The Concrete Society in July 2007 progress towards a meaningful merger was frustrated and as a result progress was not made and the intent of the MOU not fulfilled.
However, in recent months there has been significant change that has created opportunity to reinstate the principles underwriting the MOU. The means of fulfilling this reinstatement have been laid out in an Annex to the MOU. This document was agreed by ICT’s Council and on 13th January 2011 agreed by The Concrete Society Council and signed by both Presidents.
Successful implementation of the Annex should bring both organisations together as was originally envisaged under the MOU by fulfilling the actions contained in the Annex. Implementation may take some time but we now have a basis on which to progress.
This note will be followed by another outlining progress on those items to be addressed in the immediate future.
Professor PC Hewlett
President of the ICT
