CIWEM’s Policy Panels are open to applications

We are currently looking for new members to join some of our policy panels

Our Specialist Policy Panels are advisory groups, each focusing on a specific topic. Their focus spans the water and environment sector, from flooding, to climate change, water resources and land management, representing the breadth of expertise of our members.

Joining a Policy Panel is a great way to connect with peers who are experts in the same field as you, work on your continuing professional development (CPD), and contribute to our mission of finding widespread, impactful water and environmental solutions, by guiding our policy work.

The panels we are recruiting for are:

• Water Supply and Quality
• Contaminated Land
• Natural Capital
• Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Specialist Panel (FCERM)

What’s expected of you

The panels meet three to four times a year, virtually or hybrid, to discuss changes in policy and key issues in the field. The panels create Policy Position Statements and support our policy projects.

Panel members are expected to have an interest in contributing to policy-related discussions and should have more than ten years of experience working in the topic area. Members join as individual professionals, not as representatives of their employer.

We are actively working to make our panels more diverse and foster an inclusive culture. We encourage everyone to apply, and to reach out if you have questions, concerns, or need adjustments to be made.

How to apply

Please send a copy of your CV and a short paragraph summarising your expertise and interest in this topic to policy@ciwem.org.

Applications are open until 11:59pm Monday 22 January 2024.
