Marlene Kanga

摘要

Engineers australia is one of the largest associations in Australia with approximately 100,000 members and each year a president is elected by Congress based on their proposals for the organisation. Since assuming the presidency, Dr Marlene Kanga has set a hectic pace in driving a "reformist and transformational" agenda of change at Engineers Australia. Her strategic objective is to make Engineers Australia indispensable to the career objectives of every engineering professional and to ensure that the organisation is central to engineering issues in Australia, while continuing to be the driving force of her two companies with leading Australian innovations. Highlights include the development of the first consolidated general member regulations which put members at the core of the organisation and strategic realignment of the divisions and learned society groups. Externally, a mutual recognition agreement was signed with Engineers New Zealand after a hiatus of many years and other external relationships have been strengthened.
