Message from the President
Dear Esteemed REAAA Members,
I trust this message finds you well and eager to contribute to the growth and success of our association. As we move forward with our mission to advance road engineering and technology, I would like to highlight several key points for your active participation and engagement.
Our thoughts are with Taiwan as they navigate the aftermath of the recent earthquake on 3 April 2024. We trust in Taiwan’s resilience and capabilities to swiftly recover from this disaster. Thus, I trust that the REAAA’s Technical Working Committee on Climate Change, Resilience & Emergency Management can serve as a model for implementing and achieving the objectives of the technical committee and the objectives and vision of REAAA. I hope the working committee stands ready to support and assist Taiwan during this challenging time. The working committee, and other working committees, can play a crucial role in offering assistance and expertise. Let us stand together in solidarity, and support Taiwan through this difficult period. Stay strong, Taiwan.
First and foremost, I urge all members to actively involve themselves in all activities organized by the REAAA. Your participation and input are essential in driving our initiatives forward and shaping the future of our association.
Secondly, I kindly request that you respond promptly when your expertise and assistance are needed. Your timely input and support can make a significant difference in the success of our projects and endeavours.
Furthermore, I encourage all members to contribute relevant articles for publishing in the REAAA Newsletter and the website. Sharing your knowledge and insights with fellow members not only enhances our collective learning but also strengthens our community.
I invite you to participate in esteemed awards such as the Katahira Award, Mino Best Project Award, Hwang Award, and Smart Highway Award at the upcoming 17th REAAA Conference, to be held in Ilsan, a satellite city located in the northwest of Seoul, Korea. Your outstanding projects and contributions deserve recognition, and these awards offer a platform to showcase your achievements to the industry.
Lastly, I encourage all members to introduce and promote new countries as potential members of REAAA. By expanding our membership base, we can create a more diverse and inclusive community that fosters greater collaboration and knowledge exchange.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to REAAA. Together, let us work towards a successful future for our association and roads industry in the region.
Best regards,
Dr. Sung-Hwan Kim
REAAA President
