It is with great pleasure combined with a need to offer an apology that I salute the Chamber's latest venture in establishing its own Website.

Pleasure because at long last our members will have access to important information, organised specifically to serve their needs, in a form that we hope will respond to their needs and wishes. My need to apologise stems from the fact that ETEK, the par excellence body representing professionals in the field of high technology, has spent the first twelve years of its existence without the basic tool of communication with its members: its own Website. 

We hope that the presence of ETEK on the Internet will fill an enormous gap in the area of communication with our members. We also trust that it will serve to improve the services offered by ETEK and will contribute to greater communication among the members themselves. Our hope is that the public at large will also have an opportunity to become better acquainted with the Chamber and make use of what we have to offer.

I am not under the illusion that the present form of the Website is perfect, or that it will satisfy the aspirations of each one of us. On the contrary, I believe that there will be shortcomings, mistakes, and room for improvement. With regard to this I ask for your leniency but also your active participation in an effort to create the best possible Website.

Your criticism, suggestions and views will help us enormously and will contribute to the creation of a Website that will be truly yours and of which you can justly be proud.

A few words about the future: ETEK was not established as just another organisation in a professional field. The vision of its founders and its policy to date has been to contribute to the development of society and to improved quality in all areas of life. We hope that this Website will reflect this wish and contribute to its realisation.
