CONSIDERING IET MEMBERSHIP OR YOU ARE ALREADY A MEMBER

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

 

  • Good Afternoon - I have contacted you directly using both email addresses that we hold on your membership account for you. 

    We are able to offer both printed and PDF copies of your membership certificate – please can you let me know if you have a preference or if you would like both versions? 

    Please can you also confirm the email address and/or home address you would like to be used for the replacement certificates - if you do not wish to supply this information via the forum please send an email to postmaster@theiet.org and I will pick it up from there.

    Kind Regards

  •  "I suspect like most Victorians he would have held some views that would be thought contentious today, but luckily he is not remembered for that" Indeed. It`s within living memory we witnessed the events as portrayed in the film "made in Dagenham" those nasty militant union woman challenged the long held view that women should be paid less solely for being women. That view was held not just by greedy bosses but by workers (including union members) and the public too. Times change, sometimes for the better

  • "This forum has been good over the years, but no different technically in my opinion to other electricians forums" I disagree I`m afraid. It was the bees knees before it changed. Now it has become the worst thing since white bread. Only a very few members bother posting anymore. It has been made a right fandango to navigate

  • Something to do with the needs of the Finance Dept Zoom. I'm not party to the exact reason why but as it's been in existence for many many years (long before my time) I would assume something around posting of cheques to a secure address? I know that it is being discontinued now though as there is no longer a need for it again I guess as a result of the increased adoption of online payments etc. 

  • Why use a Post Office box when the I.E.T, building is so close? My mail is not delivered to my neighbours.

  • Thank you for your comments Zoomup and I am sorry to hear that your requests for a new membership certificate have not been actioned.  I will contact you directly to resolve this matter for you.

  • It’s complicated Zoomie but the SG1 2AY postcode is for the PO Box number used by the IET and not the physical location of the building. As before the building has not moved (although that would be quite a feat if it did!) Joy

  • So the address displayed in the latest B.S. 7671 is out of date and uses the postal code (SG1 2AY) of the local Royal Mail sorting office. Perhaps that is why my membership renewal cheque hasn't arrived. No redirection arranged by the I.E.T.  then for new mail deliveries?

    May not be pulling down his statues, but the IET has renamed the Stevenage office, it's no longer Michael Faraday house.
