Collaboration between IET & volunteers

Alex Barrett
I've raised the issue of collaboration between the IET staff and volunteers before, and the fact that IET development managers and other staff are working within the regions without keeping the local volunteers informed. They set up business and academic partnerships, promote the IET as a body, and run local events, but all without letting the local boys know what they are doing. I've just discovered that the IET are running a local registration event, less than a week away, and I learned of it from another body. Why? The IET knows what the local volunteers are doing, CRM's see to this, so why not feed information the other way too.

I like to refer to it as "mushroom syndrome", keep us in the dark and feed us... compost?

    I can empathise with Alex's point about lack of co-ordination btwee LNs and IET Staff organised events.


    As an Interview Convener and sometimes Interviewer, I have developed over the years a presentation on Professional Registration in conjuction with like-minded members.


    Last year I delivered this presentation at a session in the IET Scotland SE LN 14/15 programme in November and March. Shortly afterwards I noted tthere was to be presented in Edinburgh on consecutives days in April sessions on Mentoring and Professional Registration, for which there was quite a sizable fee. The LN had no knowledge of these two events. My sessions are delivered at no cost to participants!


    Unfortunately this is not an isolated example and of particular concern it just what experience of the Professional Registration process does the person making the persentation have.
