From the Executive Director

摘要

You may not realize it but there is an association for nearly every human activity that exists. Nearly every trade, profession, hobby, or cause has a group torepresent it. ISEE is no exception. Our association is an individual membership organization - a professional society. Within our society, individuals learn the latest information about explosives engineering and share issues and concerns common to the industry. Other associations exist to assist businesses. They are known as trade associations. In both professional societies and trade associations, competitors are brought together for information, advocacy, research, publications, statistics, standard-setting, and networking.
