Current Treasurer of PLASA and its previous chairman, Hopkins, recently took over from Michael Leaver as the president of the Institute of Sound and Communications Engineers. Hopkins believes that the opportunity for a closer liaison between PLASA and the ISCE is long overdue and he is committed to training and the creation of meaningful standards so that career patterns can be established for the future of the industry. "The advent of stricter health and safety regulations, as well as the implications of WEEE and ROHS legislation, makes such ambitions a necessity," he says.
