IoR seeks working group volunteers

UK: The Institute of Refrigeration is seeking help from members to help plan activities to raise the profile of the Institute.

The IoR is seeking to set up a series of short-term working groups to look at various aspects of membership and help plan activities to raise the profile of the IoR in colleges and businesses both at home and overseas. 

The working groups will prepare detailed proposals, support materials and look for ways of engaging with other members or non-members.   

The IoR says the time commitment is likely to include a series of monthly telephone conferences over this autumn, a few hours a week reviewing documents or carrying out research, and potentially attending a meeting to present the results to the executive council later this year. 

For further information contact the IoR on 020 86477033 or fill in the contact form here.
