All had value, some directly for the members, some for the association, and many for the industry at large to aid in our input and engagement with the HSE, BS and other regulators and policy setters. Of specific note is the recognition of the eGuide by the HSE (and our collaborative input into their review of CDM), and the process we\u2019ve followed to help our community understand the use and provision of Wi-Fi<\/p>\n<p><b>What plans does the association have for the next 12 months?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Through careful cost control and management we\u2019ve accrued some sizeable reserves, and we\u2019ve just held a Strategy Day with the Board to further refine our Mission and Vision. So we are in the fortunate position to be able to develop and implement our plans for 2014 knowing we have resource behind us.
