As I sit in Savoy house enjoying a rather nice breakfast and the view over the Thames prior to attending today's Exec Meeting I muse over the question above.  Over the last couple of months I have been tidying up my professional accreditations with various Institutions and have come to this long awaited rhetorical question.  In the field of Project Management which of the two organisations above should I join.  What are the benefits (and negatives) of joining either body.  Do we as members of IET have a formal stance relative to this?  What is the Recognition of each within (i) The UK, and (ii) International?  How do these bodies align to Cost Engineering Bodies?


In posing this question I hope it will trigger some discussion from other members that will both inform the reader and also aid me in making my own decision.  

ALL RESPSONSES TO THIS DISCUSSION STRING WILL BE TAKEN AS AN EXPRESSION OF PERSONAL OPINION AND NOT ATTRIBUTED TO IET POLICY UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED AS SUCH


I hope the readers of this post feel that they can respond and maybe an informative discussion may ensue


Regards
