Is it possible to remain a CEng if IET membership is ended?

Hi Andy

 

Thanks for the suggestion of starting aa new thread covering "Retired Register Status" but in I doubt much will be gained. 


We had the "Legalities of awarded CEng" where I originally wrote (as it was relevant) about maintain CEng in retirement and the associated good points for the profession and the bad points at the cost involved.

 

We also had the "Retired Members Sub" thread where expense was the issue and people walking away and the associated loss for the profession etc.

 

We also had the "Retired Members Subscriptions Increases" again covering the same. 

 

A couple of the posts I wrote [ https://communities.theiet.org/discussions/viewtopic/795/19286?post_id=94524#p94524 ] and [ https://communities.theiet.org/discussions/viewtopic/795/19286?post_id=95054#p95054 ] just about covered all "intricacies" (can't think of a better word) of this thorny subject for the EC and IET.  Add the two threads mentioned above and I think there has been discussion, coverage and no movement on the EC's and IET's positions.  I got then, and still do, the impression that their is no offical interest by the EC and IET.

 

So many have walked already and more will when they find in retirement that for them "holding on" in retirement is just not financially sensible, if not viable any more for *fully* retired members.


As you will know I took my decision to leave a hang up my CEng and MIET clothing back in 2015 and to be honest for me it was a very sad but good decision.
