Tengamos un boletin CICH, similar al del ASCE

[Marco Landa]

Comité Junta Directiva CICH y Presidente CICH Ana,

ATENTOS,

El motivo el cual les reenvío este mail es porque la Asociacion Norteamericana de Ingenieros Civiles (ASCE) hace llegar boletines diarios y breves de lo que acontece en cada estado del país...obras, litigios, condecoraciones, etc....y pienso que nosotros (CICH) no estamos tan atrasados en cuestión del manejo de los sistemas de información y que podríamos tener este tipo de publicaciones mensuales aunque sea para empezar, ya que existen tantas comisiones  (energía, transporte, saneamiento, construcción, educación continúa, vivienda, arancel, comunicación, fiscalía, vigilancia, etc) de trabajo en el CICH que ellos podrían ser los mismos encargados de editar el contenido de cada tema de Interés Público, así como ellos proporcionan también un banco o bolsa de trabajo con los números de contacto y la empresa contratante. 

Que se haga pública toda la información que no tengamos que ir o viajar hasta Tegucigalpa o ir hasta el Colegio (si residen en Teg), llamar y que nos dejen colgados por ratos, solo para saber si hay alguna plaza vacante de trabajo u otra información o publicación!! y esto nos va a dar un mayor sentido de pertenencia a un gremio prestigioso como el nuestro.

No es posible que los medios de comunicación escrita y hablada se les atribuyan los honores de hacer publicaciones de construcciones antes que nosotros como Gremio, podemos hacer y hasta hablar con mayor propiedad; y que nosotros nos sentemos comodamente en el letargo, comodidad e indiferencia. Sólo falta un poco más de creatividad y ser proactivos, mocionar-proponer cosas FUNCIONALES.

Talves con ese dineral que sobró de la Cena del Día del Ingeniero Civil se saca para darle viento a esta propuesta. Que sólo requiere de una conexión de internet, comunicación dentro del gobierno, mobilización a las diversas alcaldías o empresas estatales (FHIS, SOPTRAVI, SETCO,Universidades,etc), varias llamadas telefónicas, fotografias, el encargado de informática y el de Relaciones Públicas del CICH (si es que hay). Se puede hacer la prueba, lo importante es que haya gente que trabaje motivada también!!! Esto puede funcionar si se trabaja en conjunto con todos los Capítulos del CICH.

Hagámos una participación dinámica  Ing. Castro, y uds colegas que opinan=??? Su opininón es muy valiosa Ing. Ana.

Gracias por su atención, quisiera saber quienes dentro de este grupo está de acuerdo y donde residen?

 

Atte,

Marco Landa
