Eastern Area

Welcome to the Eastern Area of the Institute of Water!

Eastern Area

We are one of eight Institute of Water area committees. We are all volunteers who work in the water sector.

 

We use our professional experience to develop events and activities to support IWater members in Eastern Area; helping them to do their day jobs, advocate for the sector and improve the environment and lives of their communities.

 

Anyone who works in the sector is welcome to join. Any of our committee members would be happy to talk to you about the benefits of getting involved with IWater.

 

Joining our Committee

Becoming an IWater volunteer comes with many benefits. You can enhance your CV, boost your CPD, learn new skills, connect with like-minded water professionals, give back to your industry, and make a real difference. It’s also a great opportunity to develop your skillset in a supportive and professional environment.

We’re committed to recognising and thanking our volunteers for their time and contributions. Why not join our volunteering community and contribute to something you’re passionate about?

Any IWater member in the Eastern Area is welcome to enquire about joining the committee, so we’d love to hear from you!

The Eastern Area Newsletter is created by local volunteers working within the UK water sector, specifically for our Eastern Area members.
