Dr David Brown and Louise Kingham FEI, Chief Executives of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and the Energy Institute (EI), have been elected as the Chair and Vice Chair of the Engineering and Technology Board’s (ETB) new Professional Panel. The Professional Panel is composed of the Chief Executives of the 36 professional engineering institutions and will work in the same way as the ETB’s Education and Skills Panel and its Business and Industry Panel. The Professional Panel’s purpose is to advise the ETB on issues relevant to the development of the engineering profession. It will also provide the 36 institutions with a forum in which to debate and implement matters of common interest and benefit to the profession and society at large. Louise Kingham, Panel Vice Chair and Chief Executive of the EI, said: ‘The ETB’s new Professional Panel is a great step forward and provides an inclusive and wide-ranging forum through which the institutions can work together to inspire future generations of engineers. I look forward to working with all its members to maximise our collective impact.’ For more information about the ETB, visit www.etechb.co.uk
