Overview

The Technical Leadership Committee (TLC) works with the Executive to establish and maintain the Institute’s Technical Plan, informed by Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and industry sources. 

A TLC member provides input to the overall Technical Plan and contributes to the overall TLC activity.

 

What you'll be doing

  • Provide input to the TLC in areas that are of current interest to the marine sector and/or contribute to the specific functions, responsibilities and outputs of the TLC
  • Contribute to IMarEST’s overall view on the technical horizon for the marine sector
  • Contribute to review of the Institute's technical outputs
  • Contribute expert opinion to the Technical Plan and/or contribute to the administrative process of producing and communicating the Technical Plan
  • As appropriate, direct expert knowledge to the formation of new SIGs where called for by the Technical Plan

In addition to the above, the TLC Chair is required to take a leadership role of the committee. The TLC Chair attends our Council Executive Committee (CEC) and Council meetings.

 

About you

You will have:

  • Subject knowledge based on personal and peer experience and/or the ability to draw this from others
  • The ability to adopt a balanced view of the IMarEST’s scope and coverage
  • Experience in contributing to TLC outputs (such as policy development)

 

Benefits

There are many benefits to volunteering on the Technical Leadership Committee, including:

  • A high degree of peer visibility and an opportunity to expand your personal network
  • Sharing and building technical knowledge and experience through TLC interactions
  • The gaining of exposure to technical developments outside of your own experience

Volunteering contributes to your continuing professional development (CPD).
