CONFESSIONS OF AN EASTERN REGION COMMITTEE MEMBER

摘要

In 2013 (with trepidation) I volunteered to join the Eastern Region Committee, a little bit concerned about what I was letting myself , in for if I am honest! My main reason for putting myself forward was I felt the region was lacking in free, good quality CPD events for members plus I was keen to feel more involved in the Association.I used to read the Buiiding fngmeerjournal and there was only one event a month for members in the whole of the Eastern Region, which was in King's Lynn. It is quite a large geographical region so was reaching around only 20-30 members. On joining the committee there was a drive for more Centres of Excellence (CoE) to be created in all regions to support a greater number of members which the current President, David Taylor, who is in the Eastern Region himself, is keen to continue to promote.
