YOUR INSTITUTION NEEDS YOU

摘要

Members often assume volunteering is just about visiting schools," says Dr Helen meese, Institution trustee and chair of the Regional Strategy Board. "But there is way more to being an IMechE volunteer than that." Helen has been a member and volunteer since joining as a student back in 1992. "The IMechE has 20 different ways to get involved, and that's just the tip of the iceberg," she says. The volunteer network spans the globe, and nearly 4,000 active volunteers are based in the UK, spread across 16 regions. "There's a real sense of pride and passion among the volunteer community," enthuses Helen. "I've always considered the IMechE to be my home, but the volunteers are definitely my family. It still amazes me how such a diverse group of people from across the engineering community can come together with a single purpose - to improve the world through engineering."
