Membership of the CMAA continues to grow and certainly is looking very healthy. Welcome to all our new members who have taken the right decision and joined the CMAA to help progress and protect their careers. This edition of Club IQ is both printed and digital. This is the only printed version we will do in 2017. I hope you enjoy the content which is both entertaining and informative.
