As Chairman, I am delighted to present you the new Council’s priorities for its term of office.The unique multi disciplinary and cross industry space occupied by SCL(S) in the construction industry provides significant opportunities to broaden our Society’s reach and appeal. The Council sees 3 important aspects to this:
1. Reach out to the needs and interests of specialist segments of the industry, such as building & construction, infrastructure, and marine & offshore.

2. Broaden our Society’s appeal by delivering greater value to our members through regular social/networking forums, professional development programs, and publications. The Council is looking at a vibrant website offering, and beyond just seminars, workshops and conferences to customized training courses, site visits and possibly even overseas visits.

3. Seek recognition as a responsible stakeholder in the Singapore Construction industry by developing working relationships with relevant government agencies, like BCA and LTA, other affiliated professional & industry organizations, like the SIA, Society of Project Managers, SCAL, the Law Society, SIArb, and finally other SCLs and similar institutions, in the region and elsewhere.

To develop these objectives meaningfully, the Council has established the following Standing Committees:

A brief statement of the Committees’ roles is available here.

The e-questionnaire that comes with this message will provide you ample opportunity for feedback, comments and involvement. I warmly invite you to take full advantage of this opportunity to interact with the new Council.

On behalf of the new Council, I look forward to your active participation and support, and meeting you at the many activities that are being planned.
