Dear KMEIA Members,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the fifth edition of the digital National Newsletter. The articles included have been supplied by KMEIA Branches, members and broader community members and we are grateful to all for their contributions to this publication.  My sincere thanks go to the authors for the time and effort they have put into their respective submissions. Many thanks also to the State Branch Editors and members of their committees for their input.
