Where is the IET going?

The IET on Twitter is mostly about women in engineering and it appears we also have or have had an Executive member who represents the Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers (AFBE-UK). Since when did we get away and direct our selves at subsections of the organization? There is no minorities that I am aware of in the IET at least not because of bias in any way shape of form. The same goes for women in engineering, no one is biased against them. Low numbers are because they dont want to be in engineering..

Where is the IET heading? It does not seem to be going in a place most of the member wold probably want or is it?

    Hi John


    Have you been in touch with the volunteers from your Local Network?

    Hi Lisa,


    I have been in touch with them.


    This isn't a decision that I've taken lightly.   You don't be a member for 30+ years and make a rash decision!   This is how I've felt for years, that the IET is not providing value to its members.


    If you look at the events section of your site for my area you'll see it's fairly empty.   The only event listed is a dinner.   No other form of technical engagement listed.   Maybe there's been a problem with getting news out to members as to what is happening in my area (searching my emails I see nothing from the IET for events), but even when I look there's not much to see!
