Could *I* be a spokesperson for the IET?

Andrew Banks
Hi all


Not sure where to post this, so I thought here was the best bet...


On page 4 of the May/June edition of "Member News" (click) was an article entitled Could you be a spokesperson for the IET? ​​​​​​​which stated:

We’d like to expand our network of media spokespersons to ensure we remain the go-to organisation for journalists.



I sent in an email to the specified address on 29th May... but three weeks on, no reply - not even "go away, you're unsuitable" ;-)


Am I just being impatient?

    Hi Andy,


    This is a great point and one we have to manage very carefully with our IET volunteer spokespersons. When giving a comment on behalf of the IET, you will be identified as an expert in your field and member of the IET, but we have to ensure there is no conflict of interest with your professional role/organisation you work for. In addition it could be channelling the expertise of our members behind the scenes, which is invaluable to us as well.


    Happy to discuss this further with you?


    Many thanks, Hannah
