The IBD has recently established a
Younger Members Network. This will provide a focus for
the interests of members aged 35 and under. By
helping younger members meet like-minded people, the
network aims to further both their professional and
personal development. The IBD hopes to launch a
Younger Member of the Year Award in 2006 to reward and
recognise Younger Members for outstanding
achievements. The Younger Members Network will provide
an additional focus and assist with continuous
professional development.
The network is for employees and students in the
industry, it will offer the opportunity for younger
members to establish useful contacts and to get
involved with a variety of events and activities.
Every Local Section will nominate a Younger Member
Representative, who can act as a point of contact
between the Local Section, younger members in that
area and the IBD.
The role of a Young Section Representatives will be
to:
-
liaise with section co-ordinators to complement current
events and activities;
represent the views of other younger members in each local area;
-
act as a point of contact between the Local Section, younger
members in that area and the IBD;
-
arrange section events e.g. technical visits, lecture
evenings, networking opportunities, field trips and workshops. Topics could
include networking skills, careers advice, inspirational lectures,
communication skills and
-
organise events and activities that will interest younger
members in industry and students.
