[ Committees ]

It’ll be difficult for me to stick to just 100 words about committees.  I’m on several, and I chair a few as well.  I’ve been on committees for technical standards (hello Standards Australia) for almost twenty years, as well as several with Engineers Australia. 

I get an enormous amount of satisfaction from them.  They are my ‘giving back’ to society, and to industry. The people are all so interesting, and the opportunity to learn is enormous. It’s not easy work; but it’s worth it. Reaching consensus on issues is the ongoing challenge.  You can’t help but improve your communication skills.
