The Years Ahead

When BIM was registered 26 years ago little did anyone think that it would grow to such dimensions. But BIM will not rest on its laurels and is constantly looking into avenues to improve itself.

The Board of Management of BIM holds meetings regularly to review plans and set priorities to work forwards its objectives and find solutions to problems concerning the professional community and the nation as a whole. The Board consists of one to three representatives from each member institution and it determined the policies and direction for BIM.

BIM, one of the largest professional centres in the world, has no doubt made significant contributions to the promotion of professionalism in Malaysia. BIM has enjoyed respect and good standing among other professional centre in the Commonwealth countries, and the Commonwealth Foundation itself which
played a major role in the establishment of BIM.

For smooth functioning, BIM has various subcommittees to deal with the professional activities, secretariat, and finance, training and education, publications, Bandar Tun Razak Building Development, insurance and social activities. Over the years BIM has continued to consolidate on the projection of image and effective management.

At a recent stock-taking session BIM decided that in the years to come the organization should:

  • Work towards making BIM contribute to
    excellence in the field of professional
    education;
  • Organise a flagship multidisciplinary
    conference once a year to project its image;
  • Organise a flagship education/career guidance
    fair;
  • Strengthen its role on professional matters;
    Channel the contribution of professional
    towards solving social problems like the haze,
    outbreaks of various diseases, collapse of
    buildings and floods;
  • Set up a task force to promote research activity
    related to national issues;
  • Set up a standing committee on. Community
    Development and social concerns;
  • Be a centre for information gathering and dissemination of knowledge - an up-to-date resource centre for professional, and
    Cany on business activities relating to the needs of the professionals, for example, ticketing for travel for members and arrangements for hotel accommodation.

    • BIM also hopes to improve the structure of the organisation and strengthen its financial status as well as its secretariat.

    That BIM is still growing after 26 years cannot be denied. It is a developing and viable entity and its potential to assist in national development has yet to be fully utilised. The Centre hopes it would be called upon to participate more fully in the mainstream of national development. This would fulfil its ultimate objective of serving the nation and being a partner in the successful social and economic advancement towards national development. The professional represent a sector of the community whose resources
    could be further tapped in accordance with the needs of the nation. BIM has the expertise and will be only too glad to serve.
