Maintenance Engineering Society of Australia (MESA)
I am pleased to present this first Annual Report of the Maintenance Engineering Society of Australia (MESA) trading as the Asset Management Council.
Several years ago MESA established the Asset Management Council, recognising the evolution of the practice and science of Maintenance Engineering and Asset Management. Our purpose was to merge the two organisations into one; this objective was delivered at the end of 2007. The Asset Management Council retains at its core maintenance engineering, this is embodied in the Asset Management Council Technology Model.
Membership and Finances
Asset management and maintenance engineering practice continue to gain importance at all levels of enterprise management, and our membership continues to grow slowly, now exceeding 1,200.
Operating accounts of MESA and AM Council were consolidated for the reporting year ending December 2007, including Chapter accounts.

Continuing Professional Development
ICOMS: Our annual Asset Management and Maintenance Engineering Conference provides delegates with the latest developments in trends and technology as well as networking opportunities. Over 230 delegates attended ICOMS 08 in Fremantle. We are now working towards the 2009 conference in Sydney.
The Asset Management Fundamentals course attracted 191 participants in 2007. Our ten Chapters held a variety of events in their technical programs for 2007.
Publication and release of The Asset Journal has been well received.
Development of our website continues.
