“I decided to volunteer to help give something back in acknowledgement of the help I’ve had at various stages in my career.  Since becoming actively involved, I’ve been delighted at the breadth of backgrounds and experience within IIRSM’s membership, and how mutually beneficial the experience of volunteering can be”.  Callum Irvine, Senior Manager, Deloitte and Member of the Education and Training Committee

“I have been lucky to be able to draw on the collective support and expertise of the risk and safety management community over the 20 years I have been involved in health and safety. I had reached a point in my career where I was well established and I was looking for something more than the routine of work could offer me. The Membership and Branches Committee seemed an interesting way to give back and help improve opportunities for the risk community that has given me so much. Having said that, I get so much from my involvement that, as Chair of the Committee, I feel that I am getting as much out of the role as I am giving.” Rosie Russell, Health and Safety Manager for the School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh and Chair, Membership & Branches Committee.

Consider using this testimonial near the bit about branches. Being part of a committee is very rewarding. Members have a common goal to share knowledge and best practice. It has allowed me to build some great contacts from all areas of risk management. Catherine Wilkes, Director, Health, Safety & Site Facilities, Quotient Clinical and East Midlands Branch Secretary
