Elections: Council (Institute of Measurement and Control) 2014

 The Institute’s Council is the members’ elected body to foster and promote their interests in the Institute.  The Council’s primary role is to advise the Trustees on Institute affairs and to represent, in particular, the members’ views in these matters.  Through its dialogue with the Board, Council therefore makes an important contribution to the running of the Institute.

 Four vacancies will be arising for nationally elected Ordinary Members of the Council in 2014 and nominations to fill these vacancies are now invited.  Corporate and eligible non-Corporate members (i.e. Licentiates registered as IEng and Associate Members registered as EngTech,) may stand for election provided they are nominated by six members in their category (i.e. Corporate or non-Corporate), are in good standing (i.e. fully paid-up), and countersign the nomination form to indicate their consent to nomination.

 Nomination forms are available from the Chief Executive – This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The Institute since 2007 – Review of Progress 

 Please click here:  InstMC Progress Report v2 (1) (889.5 kB) to see the Reavill Review - A review of the Institute's progress since 2007 

 The attached Review of the Institute’s progress since 2007 was presented by Dr Lawrie Reavill* to our Council at its meeting in October 2012.

 Some members may recall that in 2006 Dr Reavill was commissioned to take an independent look at the Institute and recommend options for its future direction. In January 2007 Council considered his recommendations and implemented a programme of change. The current Review looks at how successful, or otherwise, this programme has been.

 The Review is the culmination of months of discussion and consultation with individual members, Local Sections, staff and some of the Institute’s committees and groups. The points Dr Reavill has raised and the suggestions he has made are now being considered and all members are invited to comment on his findings. Your views will be most welcome and should be sent to me by post or, preferably, via: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
