Hello and Welcome!

Hi everyone



I thought I'd start this off smiley



I'm Lisa and I'm a member of staff at the IET. You'll see me all over MyCommunity as I'm one of the Community Relationship Managers looking after some of our communities and their online presence.



I also write a personal blog on MyCommunity called The Geekette where I share my geeky fascination with all things teccy and engineering related.



So welcome to the group and  I look forward to chatting with you!

  • Hello!


    I'm William/Billy/Amélie.  I'm the chair of AWE Pride, which we set up and launched on the 23rd September. I felt I couldn't remain in the role of the chair without being open about why, so I came out at work by presenting as Amélie at the launch. I haven't transitioned, but spend a lot of my spare time 'en femme' and only occasionally present as Amélie at work. I generally use Billy (Billie) at work, until such a time (if as and when) I legally change my name.


    I was hoping I would log on (as I to be honest rarely do), to find a thriving community here.  The IET sponsor interengineeringlgbt.com/ so I'm surprised to see so little here (or am I just missing things).


    I will cautiously volunteer to help kick things off properly with an IET Network with what I'm learning from setting up my work LGBT+ Network.  Anyone fancy helping?
