Midlands Area Committee

Welcome to the Midlands Area of the Institute of Water!

Midlands 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 the Midlands Area of England; 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, improve your CPD, connect with like-minded professionals, give something back to your industry, and develop your skillset.

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 Midlands Area is welcome to enquire about joining the committee, so we’d love to hear from you!
