Welcome to your 2008 members' guide. The guide takes you through the many advantages of being part of ICE: information, training, journals, online resources and more to help you advance your career in civil engineering.
Thanks to the knowledge and experience of our members, ICE has the authority to inform governments, the media and key decision makers on how civil engineering can shape and improve the world. Our expertise comes to us from around the globe, with ICE members in 150 countries.
Our aim is to put civil engineers at the heart of society, delivering sustainable development through knowledge, skills and professional expertise.
Sustainability is central to our organisation. We are changing the way we do business so that more ICE services are available online. This helps us reduce paper and also means it is quick and easy for members to contact us. You can help ICE to be as sustainable as possible by opting to receive next year's membership pack online. More details are available in paying online.
The Institution welcomes involvement from members on every level. I hope this guide will provide useful information and a good starting point to help you make the best use of ICE's support and resources.
