We have now finished assembling the Young ICorr Committee, so as Chair I’d like to first welcome and introduce all of the Young ICorr Committee members: Joshua Owen, Izabela Gajewska; Alyshia; Ben Hudson; Danny Burkle; Kaivalya Borwankar; Lauren Sayer and Harry Tookey!
The members of the Young ICorr Committee have met several times to discuss our plans for the coming year, with our current priority being the plan for the 2026 Young Engineers Programme!
Some of the committee also had the pleasure of attending the annual AMPP conference alongside the winners of last year’s Young Engineers Programme, in Nashville, where we attended several informative talks in a range of corrosion fields, attended the Emerging Leaders event where the winners were given their awards and attended an ICorr dinner where we discussed what the future of Young ICorr could look like!
We’ll be announcing the details of next year’s Young Engineers Programme in the next few months and will be looking for sponsors to support the education of the next generation of corrosion engineers, so if you think this is something your company may be interested in – please get in touch.
YICorr will also soon be launching a mentorship scheme and hosting several social events. There are also a few other exciting things on the cards that we can’t announce yet – so watch this space!
The Young ICorr Committee is actively seeking further proactive and enthusiastic individuals to join and contribute to the future of ICorr’s young members. If you’re looking for an opportunity to make a difference, now is the perfect time to get involved!
Let’s all join in welcoming Kathy to her new role and look forward to the exciting journey ahead for Young ICorr!
Please contact Kathy on youngicorrchair@icorr.org to register your interest in joining the Young ICorr committee.
