I'm a SIMA member, and think it is as valuable a group that folks of our interest can have. I have been working with Tammy on membership as well as other areas. Dino and I have brought the SIMA booth to shows such as American Public Works and others to promote the organization and more members are joining.<p>There is a lot to get out of the seminars, and Jack Hill, one of the guys from the company I work for gave a paper at the Public Works Show in Michigan and it was one of the best received talks given. Jack is ginving this paper again in Portland.<p>It is understandable that work and feeding our families is most important to us, but for some of you guys walking the fence about coming make sure you do.<p>I guess for our nibbler, this is a group of people dedicated to the snow and ice management buiness, and it does one heck of a good job. Don't nibble around the edges, sink your teeth into something you can also contribute to. <p>Tammy is concerned about the website as we all are, if we could tell all our guys about how well this one works I'm sure that our SIMA site would improve. Anyway don't judge the organization by the website at this time, read some of the good stuff that members have put on this site.<p><p>vince
