The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology

The Institute has changed considerably over the last few years and the past three Presidents have aptly captured the scenarios in their messages: ‘Gathering speed’, ‘Diligence, learning and patience’, and ‘Change, progress – the future’. So where are we today? Working alongside the new Board of Trustees (BoT) the President’s role has changed under our new governance structure. But before I give you a synopsis of my year, I do believe it worth revisiting history and I thought some of my own observations on the Institute in the ‘good old days’ of Mark Lane could be pertinent to the present.
