At Underwater Intervention, elections saw General Members, Crofton Diving and EPIC Divers and Marine retain their seats on the ADCI Board of Directors, and Broco has assumed the Associate Member seat previously held by Divers Supply Inc.  I want to thank Robbie Mistretta (Divers Supply Inc.) for all of his hard work while serving as the Association's Treasurer for the past 10 years.  Robbie also does extensive work to provide the Association with insights into equipment maintenance, inspection, and testing.  This is especially valuable when we look to make revisions to the <i>International Consensus Standards for Commercial Diving and Underwater Operations.</i>

As for the Officers of the Board for 2017, Bryan Nicholls (U.S. Underwater Services, LLC) has been elected President, Jay Crofton (Crofton Diving Corporation) is 1st Vice President, Bo Ristic (Chet Morrison Contractors, LLC) is 2nd Vice President, and Bruce Trader (MADCON Corporation) will serve as Treasurer.  Claudio Castro (Chilean Chapter Chairman, STS Chile) will serve as the International Executive Board Representative, and Craig Fortenbery (Mainstream Commercial Divers, Inc.) will serve on the Executive Board as Past President.
