Influencing the policy debate

摘要

Engineers Australia is one of the largest professional organisations in Australia and around the world. The large membership gives us credibility, enabling us to speak to government and business on important matters relating to engineering. There are several indicators that Engineers Australia is rapidly becoming the voice of the engineering profession. Recently, I was delighted to see a technical comment on an engineering matter from a member representing Engineers Australia during a 30s grab on ABC News. This is exactly where our members and the community need our contribution. We are increasingly featured in regional, state and national media on relevant engineering issues.
