April is the time of transition and renewal for the Process Industries Division board. Specifically, April is month where the new officers take the offices. As such, I would like to take this time to welcome Luis Armendariz as the 2012/2013 President, Rick Hulse, President-Elect, and Martin Stein, Secretary. I am excited about the energy each of them brings to PID and to extending our divisions contribution to the Institute and its members. More from Vincent
