ICE West Midlands is governed by its main committee, which carries out ICE's business plan and sets the direction for the region.
ICE's work in the West Midlands is carried out by the regional committee. It's made up of representatives throughout the region, Branch Club members and Graduates and Students committee members, and is supported by the Regional Support Team.
Committee members are volunteers and come from a range of backgrounds within the civil engineering profession.
Find out more about the committees and groups, including who's involved and how you can get in touch.
The regional committee is made up of volunteers from the West Midlands region. It meets every month and, through its six sub-branches, works to deliver ICE's business plan in the region.

The committee is run by volunteers who organise social and continuing professional development events throughout the year. This provides graduate and student members with the opportunity to share best practice, find out about the latest research and industry developments, and network with other civil engineers.
The committee helps graduate and student members in the West Midlands become better civil engineers and professionals. Its volunteer members organise talks, seminars, competitions, site visits and social activities. Most take place in Birmingham and are open to everyone.
Although some members hold elected roles, the committee is very open. It welcomes any ICE graduate or student member who wants to participate, whether you're looking to attend one meeting a year or come along every month. You don't need to have an formal role - every member of the committee can contribute to the work it does.

The West Midlands special interest groups (SIGs) focus on particular aspects of civil engineering. The groups are run by members on a voluntary basis, and provide an opportunity to discuss topics, share knowledge and meet up for social activities.
If you would like to get involved in one of these groups, then please contact the relevant chairperson.
The Panel for Historical Engineering Works (PHEW) aims to promote an understanding of our rich civil engineering heritage among civil engineers and the broader public.
The West Midlands PHEW group organises events about the lives of historical civil engineers, the history of civil engineering and civil engineering projects.
Further information about PHEW can be found here.
