The ISA Hamilton Section's Annual General Meeting will be held just prior to the Technical Presentation. During this short business meeting the nominees for the 2005/2006 Season's Executive Board will be presented and as needed, an election will be held to confirm the Committee Chair positions.  Additional details are included below.

Professional speaker and author Randy Park, B.Sc., M.Eng. is a "thought provoker." He specializes in helping forward looking organizations anticipate, plan for, and take charge of their future. Randy wrote the book on thinking - “Thinking for Results - Success Strategies”.   With "Thinking for Results" Randy has worked with associations and corporations to help them see their situations different ways and get more value from their peoples' thinking.

As both a physicist and an expert in how people think and make decisions, Randy Park warns that not enough big picture thinking is going into our energy situation. Randy follows and analyzes energy supply and demand issues and the often obscure interrelationships between oil, natural gas, electricity, hydrogen, transportation, and the economy. In this presentation he cuts through the spin, delusions, and just plain fantasies that are all too common in the energy discussion these days. Randy explains why you haven’t heard about this issue, and what you can do about it.
Why are energy bills going up? Are renewables the solution? Are we running out of oil and gas? And most importantly, what effect will it have on your situation? These are the questions Randy addresses in his presentations.
In fact, for ISA members there are opportunities in this situation. Energy control, conservation, and diversification will become increasingly important - and ISA members can provide the solutions to tough technical problems.
A straight talker, Randy’s greatest strength is taking complex issues like the Energy Predicament (www.EnergyPredicament.com) and distilling them down to the essentials. His presentations are interactive and entertaining. You won’t look at your energy situation the same way again. Come out for a look at your energy future - you may be shocked.
