On 29 October, the IOR members met to share their reports on activity, plans and strategies for the future. Seven IOR committees met, including Membership, Education, Environment, Technical, Engineering Technician Group, Women in RACHP, and the Dinner Committee.
IOR President outlined progress on the IOR’s strategic priority that affects all committees – that of Education and Skills. A survey of members is currently ongoing and the IOR is close to appointing a new Education Outreach officer who will visit colleges, schools and employers to promote RACHP careers and feedback on future needs.
Pictured below are some of the Board Members and Committee Chairs, from left to right: Steve Gill FInstR, John Skelton FInstR (Education chair), Chris Griffiths MInstR (Environment Chair), Lisa Jayne Cook FInstR (Chair of the Board), Craig Girdlestone FInstR (Membership Chair), Julie Murray FInstR (Dinner chair), Steve Benton FInstR, Paul Singh FInstR and Miriam Rodway MInstR.
