The Toronto LN recently sent an envoy of three volunteers to the IET Global Volunteer Conference, held at the newly renovated Savoy place in London. The two day event June 17-18th was a showcase of best practice sharing, problem solving and networking with volunteers from all regions of the world and a true testament to the dedication of IET volunteers working together to support all members and raise the profile of the engineering profession globally. 


Our delegates returned to Toronto motivated and brimming with fresh ideas to add value to the Toronto Network Members. Amongst these actions are three core goals:

• Improved communication with members

• Wider variety of events offered

• Strengthen the Young professionals section


Work is already underway to make these targets a reality, starting with improved social media activity, regular community newsletters and event updates and pilot runs of new event formats to reach across the geographical span of the network.

Want to get more involved and help us reach our goals, why not answer our Call for Volunteers?
