Membership of the IHBC’s Linkedin group, the primary social networking platform for IHBC members, colleagues and other conservation interests, has passed 2500.
Dave Chetwyn, IHBC past chair and lead Linkedin Group Manager, said: ‘The membership of the IHBC Linkedin Group continues to grow, with new members from all around the globe. There continues to be a diverse range of discussions, providing a platform for people to share knowledge and experience’.
IHBC Director Sean O’Reilly said: ‘The strength behind the IHBC’s Linkedin Group is that it welcomes news, views and issues from anyone with a genuine interest in the conservation of historic places. It’s open to everyone, members and non-members, and easy to join too. Simply click the links, though do note that we control access to minimize the inconvenience of ‘spamming’ for Group members, so you do have to ask!’
‘We also use the site to alert people to jobs, events and news items of interest to Group members, so non-members can catch up on current news and issues direct from the IHBC. Of course it’s much more convenient for most non-members to join the Institute as a member, using our online registration system. That way you get information, news and jobs sent direct to you, as well as the many other benefits of membership, such as our house journal, Context, the IHBC Yearbook – the UK’s essential conservation directory – and a host of other member benefits’.
