ICE North West's regional committee, branch committees and special interest groups in the region plan and organise how we support and share knowledge with ICE members.
ICE's work in the North West is carried out by the regional committee. It's made up of branch members and interest groups and is supported by the Regional Support Team. Committee members are volunteers and come from a range of backgrounds within the civil engineering profession.
The North West regional committee is the focal point for matters important to civil engineers in the region. It helps raise the profile of civil engineering as a profession and a career choice and promotes continuing professional development among ICE members.
