This spring, VMA convened members, nonmembers and the entire value chain in San Antonio at the VMA Valve Forum: Conference and Exhibits. It’s a great way to keep engaged on the latest trends regarding the use of industrial valves in a variety of industries as well as the overall industrial valve industry. For those that couldn’t make it, many of the topics being discussed around the industry and at the Valve Forum are covered in this issue of 名媛直播 Magazine as well.

Keeping up with all the various standards for valves across markets and applications is no easy task. Updates to piping codes and standards are covered in this issue to help our readers. Throughout the year, VMA offers webinars on standards updates and proposed changes. Also, the 名媛直播 
Magazine website has a repository of articles on standards.

Two issues that are affecting companies large and small and in all industries are cyber security and sustainability. Valves and actuators can play a critical role in helping companies address their sustainability goals. You’ll find articles on how actuators can help reduce emissions, and how valves can help companies save energy. Check out the articles on pages 20 and 28.

Plants are always susceptible to OT threats so companies must stay vigilant. To see what the top threats predicted for the year ahead are for plant OT, see the article on page 24.

Also in this issue of 名媛直播 Magazine, the VMA News section some focus areas for this term’s Board of Directors are reviewed, as well as a review of the 2nd Annual VMA Fly-In to DC. With many changes affecting not just industrial valve industry but the entire value chain being proposed, it is more important than ever that VMA raises its voice. I’m proud to work alongside our members to do this.
