INTRODUCTION.
The Corporate Associates Presidential Group (CAPG) was
created in 2011 following the initiative of ISSMGE President

ISSMGE provide to you?

ISSMGE”.

CAPG ACTIVITY IN 2011-2013
In May – September 2011 the CAPG put forward 28 creative
suggestions on improving their position and visibility in
ISSMGE. These were subject to a vote, and the 6 best ideas
were identified as follows:
1. Create an award for outstanding geotechnical project
worldwide
J.-L. Briaud, ISSMGE President
2. For Regional Conferences, the Organizing Committee
should strive to increase industry/practitioner membership and
lead roles such as Chair and the like. Keynote lecturers should
be given as appropriate by industry. Emphasis on case records
should be given in ISSMGE related publications.
D. Becker, Golder Associates
3. Corporate Associates should have a possibility to make
presentation of their work at the International and Regional
Conferences.
M. Lisyuk, Georeconstruction
4. Allow full page advertisement for CAs in the bulletin on a
rotating basis.
J.-L. Briaud, ISSMGE President
5. Open up the case studies database to public view and enable
CA’s to add their case studies in a pre-approved and consistent
format
Chaido (Yuli) Doulala-Rigby, Tensar Intl Ltd
6. ISSMGE can organize workshops/seminars for CA on
practical aspects of geotechnical engineering, during meetings
of CAPG.
