Mersey & Western Cheshire Network recently held a Recognition Evening on 5 May 2016 which was hosted by Michelle Richmond, Director, IET Membership & Professional Development. Michelle gave an update on IET strategy and talked about volunteering at the IET. The event recognised those members who had been recently registered for CEng, IEng and EngTech, plus recent elections to Fellow and also those members who had recently joined the IET. It also recognised those members who volunteer to support the IET in the region.
A special Volunteer Recognition Award was presented to David Parr, Professional Registration
Advisor, to commemorate his outstanding contribution to the IET.
The Harry Currie Award for developing the Young Professionals Section was presented to Sheng Yuan, Chairman of the YP Section.In addition to the ceremony there were also presentations from Andy Kaldos, Deputy Network Chairman on ‘Its Your Network’ and Dr Ian Belger, IET Assessor / Professional Registration Advisor / Professional Review Interviewer who shared his view on ‘Professional Registration – Why Bother?’
Feedback from some of those attending the event indicated that they’d found it to be worthwhile and informative and an excellent networking opportunity.
Network Chairman, John McDonald, commented “I am delighted that the evening was well attended and that we have received such positive feedback from those present. Achieving professional registration or Fellowship represents a major milestone in the career of an engineer, and it is a pleasure to be able to recognise such an achievement at an event like this”.
