How do I join a committee?
In order to become a committee member of a regional branch,
engineering division or society, you must first be a member of
Engineers Ireland.
You should express your interest to the chairperson or secretary –
you will find their contact details on the website. If there is a vacancy on the committee, you may be
elected immediately or you may have to wait until the next AGM, when the changeover of
committee members occurs and your name can be formally put forward.
As with all Engineers Ireland committees, election is for a three-year period but you may stand down
at any stage. In the case of an officer (chairperson, vice chairperson, secretary, etc.) this can be
extended, but we do recommend regular turnover of members in order to inject new blood and fresh
ideas.
Committees should endeavour to get the mix right and have a group that is reflective of our overall
membership, so when considering new members, committees should give some thought to
engineering discipline, membership grade, gender and age profile.
