CONSIDERING IET MEMBERSHIP OR YOU ARE ALREADY A MEMBER

John Peckham

Once again I need you help please?

If you have not thought about being a member, or you are thing about being a member of the IET or you are an existing member of the IET what benefits would you want from the IET? Is what is on offer at the moment meeting your needs or not attractive to you.

I wear a number of IET hats and in one role I am looking at improving membership from the installation industry which is not that good in comparison to the size of the industry.

The IET do a lot of good stuff but I am convinced that it is not widely known about. For example this forum is funded and supported as part of the IETs charitable commitment. Also the free webinars we have been doing (Next one on the 5th April).

So rather than me saying I know "whats good for you" I want to hear your views?

Thanks

JP

  • I just spoke to an IET member on the phone that some of you may remember as a forum member, Perspicuous aka Bod who I attended some IET Local Group meetings and other events with such as Elex as well as conversing through this forum.

    He enquired if I am still persevering with this forum, as he gave up on it when the format changed, I said I am but I don’t use it as I did.

    There are now posts I don’t even bother looking at if the heading doesn’t catch my eye, because actually trying to read through a post from beginning to end is just ridiculous with no logical progression to the conversation,

    At one time I actually paid for an Associate Membership of the IET and attended IET Local Group meetings on a regular basis, but somewhere along the line the IET has lost its mojo, both online and in the real world.

    Bod certainly knew his stuff and his replies were very informative. A loss to us now that he has gone.

    Edit. Spelling mistake corrected. Sorry.
