Laying the foundations for a contemporary organisation

摘要

This month, the Council of Engineers Australia passed the first Engineers Australia General Member Regulations in Canberra. This historic event marked the laying of the foundation of a framework of contemporary, open and equitable governance that puts the members at the heart of the organisation. Engineers Australia has nearly 110,000 members and was established in 1919 by Royal Charter with a mission to "advance the science and practice of engineering". The by-laws establish the governance structure of Engineers Australia, with Congress as the elected body representing the members and nine members of Council elected from Congress.
