PAC Updates: ICorr 
Overseas Membership Expansion

Feb 10, 2025 | Institute News

by Stephen Tate, Immediate Past President

The Institute is continuing its drive started in 2024 to expand its membership overseas and to increase its Branch Profile.

We have set up country-specific working agreements for the provision of member services and collaboration, especially in the area of training provision, reported elsewhere in the magazine.

Local branch committees are currently being established in India and Saudi Arabia.

There are also a number of joint events starting to emerge, such as the ICorr-China Summit in Manchester to be held on the 
3rd and 4th of September this year.

These initiatives are starting to bear fruit, as readers will have seen from our recent announcements, and we are now well placed to better serve our significant overseas membership going forward.

Our HQ ICorr office team, managed by Geraldine Blomley, has kindly provided us with a breakdown (by country of applicant) for the most recent 52x ICorr membership applications (for the period ending 20th December 2024).

This is very significant for our membership direction and future branches. We shall monitor these trends closely.

  • 30% UK (15)
  • 70% Overseas (37)

There are of course some additional applications expected for China from the recent President / Vice President visits to that country that are pending, and these will be processed soon for approval and ratification 
by ICorr Council.

The Institute welcomes all suggestions for improvement to its membership services. Please send any suggestions for improvement to: president@ICorr.org

Members are also invited to represent their country via submission of good quality technical articles. Please send these to editor@ICorr.org for consideration for publication.
