Only Ties?

Former Community Member over 7 years ago

Hello,

Set off to the Rohde & Schwarz Demystifying EMC event this morning. Upon arrival at the Silverstone car park, I proceeded to get my IET tie out and promptly put it back in my bag after realizing I was not wearing a post Christmas shirt and the collar was a bit too tight to be kept fastened. That got me thinking along the lines of what else could be made available to fly the IET membership flag ..... and then it came to me, enamel lapel badges!

So how about adding them alongside ties?

Regards,

Jon

P.S. The Rohde & Schwarz event was very good!

Hmm... Rather sexist, women dont usually wear ties! And I thought we were trying to encourage women to enter engineering! Pity, I would have liked a pin badge!

Perhaps the IET could offer ties, silk scarves (my idea - possibly feminine take on a tie???), lanyards and pin badges...

Hi Grace Munday‍

We did at one time have IET Pashminas for our female members but as I recall there wasn't much uptake of them so we stopped doing them.
