Congress
Be the voice of the membership. Make a difference.
Congress is the member advisory body of the Institution comprising up to 40 volunteer members elected by their peers. It acts a sounding board and advises the Board of Trustees on matters of interest to IChemE and its members. This includes reviewing and advising on changes to the governance and operation of IChemE, as well as providing the members’ view to the Institution on strategic initiatives.
For more information on how to become a member of Congress, please visit the Congress election section.
