Young Member of the Year Awards 2017

Do you know a young member who volunteers in their spare time for the Institution or who has demonstrated outstanding commitment to the engineering profession?

The Young Member of the Year Awards launch in September. The awards seek to recognise the outstanding contributions made by young members of the Institution.

This year the Young Members Board will be awarding three individual awards for outstanding contribution in the following categories: IMechE Volunteer of the Year, Developing Engineer of the Year and Young Member Visionary.

It is really important to celebrate people who go above and beyond because these are the people that can and will inspire us and others to do great things. Volunteers frequently invest a lot of time and effort simply because they feel passionately about what they do and believe in the cause they are supporting. Most volunteers aren’t after recognition but it’s always nice to show appreciation.

Engineering excellence is also vitally important. We need great role models who will inspire others to choose engineering and will demonstrate to those already in the profession just what is possible with hard work and effort. Winning an award can help young members to get recognition and opportunities that will help them develop themselves and their careers. Nominate a young member and you’ll help us find these inspiring role models.

The awards are open to all young members of the Institution. Any young member can be nominated or may self-nominate for one or several of the awards.
