Would you like to meet up with fellow-engineers from other organisations?  Do you want to expand your own skills while contributing something to your profession?  Are you interested in attracting the next generation of engineers?    What ideas do you have for your local IET community? 

However you want to become involved, e-mail me at iet@calderbank65.plus.com to express an interest.  You do not need lots of spare time – many of our committee are busy people.  The area of involvement and the amount of time you spend is up to you.  Possibilities (not an exhaustive list) are:

•       Schools liaison

•       University liaison or accreditation

•       Company liaison or accreditation

•       Network Committee member

•       Publicity (members and/or local community)

•       Webmaster

•       Arranging a visit or event

•       Liaison with other professional institutions

•       IET member recruitment

•       IET Connect (benevolent fund)

•       EEESTA Annual Prestige Seminar

•       Mentoring other engineers

•       Professional Registration advice

Any of these would be an excellent way of extending your network of contacts within the professional engineering arena, or simply expanding your personal horizons.

We are looking for both a small number of committee members (senior and Younger Members committee) and a larger number of associates who want to contribute within a specific area of work.  IET members, men and women, of all ages and grades are welcome.  We always encourage ‘new blood’ to refresh our Network and the widest possible range of people will help us to maximise our relevance in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.

E-mail me now at iet@calderbank65.plus.com without any obligation expressing your area(s) of interest.  Send me your telephone number and preferred time if you want to discuss matters on the phone.  Alternatively, we could meet at one of our events.  I, or one of the Network Committee, will be in touch with you to agree the best way forward.

I look forward to hearing from you.

IET Beds & Herts Network
