We do our best to keep our contact information up to date, so please do not hesitate to reach out for any reason whatsoever.

Regional governance also consists of a small committee of volunteers elected on a 3-year term (next elections spring 2019). Currently Stuart Hamilton CEng FIMechE is the Americas Regional Chair and William D Hesser AMIMechE serves as the Regional Young Member Representative. You can read details of Stuart and William's policy statements here:
