Winvic Manager Takes Spot On Structural Engineers Board
A senior manager at Winvic Construction has been one of the latest names added to the Board of The Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE).
Design manager Charlotte Wildman was selected from a number of candidates to become one of 11 Board members, comprising the President, three Vice-Presidents, a Past President and six Council members. The Board, whose members are the Institution's Trustees, works to define and develop Institution strategy and policy, ensuring that IStructE continues to lead and support the development of structural engineering worldwide, in order to secure a safe and resilient built environment for all.
Charlotte has been involved with the Institution since 2012, became a Chartered member in 2017 and was elected to Council from January 2019. She has chaired the Young Members Panel and has been involved with various committee and task groups; it has been these arenas that have given Charlotte a voice to promote the industry, particularly supporting young people to pursue a career in engineering.
Speaking on her recent appointment, Charlotte said: "I was two years into my civil engineering degree when I became a student representative at the Institution, and I immediately saw how valuable my role was in feeding young people’s views into the industry mix. I have also always been an advocate of equality in construction and think it's important to encourage inclusivity whenever possible, whether that's gender, class or racial equality. I am over the moon that my passion and commitment has been recognised and paired with the enjoyment of my new role at Winvic, I think 2020 is going to be an exciting year."
Martin Powell, Chief Executive of the Institution of Structural Engineers, added: "Charlotte has been a passionate, active and engaged member of the Institution for many years, volunteering her time on our committees and panels and working tirelessly as an advocate for the needs of younger members. As an Institution, we are committed to making sure opportunities are available and open to all members to serve and support their profession and have no doubt that Charlotte's drive and enthusiasm will be an enormous asset to the board as we shape the future of the Institution over the coming years."
The Board was elected by the IStructE Council in November, but January marks the official appointment of members for the two year – 2020 and 2021 – term.
