On behalf of the CSBE/SCGAB, I welcome all of the participants, especially Canadian members, to this year’s ASABE meeting.  This is a very special occasion for all of us to join ASABE in celebrating the 100th birthday of the Agricultural and Biological Engineering profession.  The CSBE/SCGAB agreed at their 2006 AGM to hold their 2007 annual general meeting outside Canada.  This year the CSBE/SCGAB will not have a separate technical meeting but will hold its business meeting at specified venues that are listed in the following schedule. 

 

CSBE/SCGAB is a constituent member of ASABE with the President serving on the Board of Trustees and with representation on all of the ASABE councils.  The mission of the CSBE/SCGAB is similar to that of the ASABE, to promote engineering excellence in biological, environmental, food and bioenergy production and processing systems. The CSBE/SCGAB will be a half century old next year in 2008. The Golden Jubilee celebration will take place in beautiful Vancouver British Columbia along with our regular annual technical and business meetings. You are all invited.
