With the conclusion of IHBC\u2019s new \u2018Corporate Plan\u2019 (CP30)<\/em> consultation, and details on next stages to be announced soon, we\u2019re now seeking volunteers keen to help us grow while you grow your skills!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

IHBC Chair David McDonald OBE said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your institute is growing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From our Charter progress to our standing across our members\u2019 diverse communities of practice and networks, we are opening new opportunities and enhancing or even establishing impacts and credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we want to grow our substantial network of volunteers even more, and make it a core part of our future by building on our long tradition of volunteer-led planning and delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember too that volunteering with the IHBC is great for your career, often as the most cost-effective way to expand your skills as our online SelfStarter<\/a> explains, and as highlighted on its \u2018Volunteers and Careers\u2019 panel HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And whether you are working or retired, you can be sure that any help you can give the IHBC brings huge public benefit, a structural theme in our Corporate Plans since 2007, as outlined HERE<\/a>.  Of course such activities also enhance personal wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you are interested in any voluntary position in the IHBC \u2013 from starting out as an early career practitioner exploring the landscape of conservation to serving as a senior trustee able to offer us your substantial experience \u2013 please do come forward and expand your skills and enhance your networks as a volunteer with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are a complex organisation, so if you are keen you can scope and explore any roles most easily by following the links under the \u2018About\u2019 dropdown on our website.  You can also contact members of our National Office<\/a> network.  And for a more personal explorations you can go to your Branch or any Board, Committee or panel lead in your area of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are unsure where to start, you can simply email our Support lead Sarah Homer, at support@ihbc.org.uk<\/a>, or our Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly at director@ihbc.org.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
