RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE WORK
Even though the PRC considers that a lot has been done in a
limited time, there are still a lot of objectives to be achieved and
a lot of ideas to be developed. To name a few of them:
- Distribute brochures in all institutions around the globe with
the help of country members
- Promote and market continuously the new PRC movie and
website at every occasion and electronically
- Contact major news media, TV channels, and radio to talk
about geotechnical engineering, guided by the article and
movie produced.
- Organize the means to help the general public, fellow
engineers and governmental organizations when a natural
disaster occurs in a specific region of the world
This is just the beginning… hoping that the PRC committee will
continue to thrive!
