The Young ICorr committee held their most recent meeting via teleconference at the end of April to develop a clear strategy for the coming year, as well as to establish sub-committees to focus on events/meetings, the Young Engineer Programme, a dedicated mentoring programme, and the establishment of an annual Young ICorr award.
In addition to this, for the very first time, Young ICorr had a strong presence at the annual CED working day held at the York Railway Museum on 27 April 2022. Izabela Gajewska (Intertek) represented Young ICorr as a speaker giving a talk on “Best Management Practices to Transfer Knowledge to Ensure Integrity Assurance Optimization for Oil and Gas Production”. Izabela’s talk was very welcomed by the CED attendees and initiated a number of discussions around integrating the early-stage career members into ICorr. (Editor: I hope to publish an article based on this presentation in the next issue of Corrosion Management).
In addition to this restructuring of the Young ICorr committee responsibilities as mentioned above, James McGladdery, the Young ICorr vice chair, will step up as joint chair with Danny Burkle, which will help to split the responsibility for the growth of the section whilst Danny transitions into his new position as chair of CED, taking over from Nick Smart. This transition will allow for a continued presence of Young ICorr in the ICorr Corrosion Engineering and Corrosion Science divisions. To become part of the Young ICorr community, or for more information about what they do, and how they can help you, contact, James McGladdery or Danny Burkle on James.McGladdery@uknnl.com and d.burkle@lbbcbaskerville.co.uk, respectively.
