In July 2020, the Association for Industrial Archaeology (AIA) established a Young Members Board (YMB) as a sub-committee of the Association, comprising early or mid-career people with an interest in industrial heritage. The AIA recognises the current demographic of both the membership and Council, and believe that by engaging with younger, more diverse, people they can together better deliver the aim of the Association to ‘give our industrial past a future’.
The YMB provides an exciting new opportunity for individuals to work with like-minded people to influence the direction of the Association and industrial archaeology generally, raise your own profile, develop your personal skills and knowledge, build your CV, network with interesting and knowledgeable people, and take on real responsibility.
The YMB are seeking new members to join them and fill vacancies on the Board. To apply, please submit your CV and a short description of why you would like to joint to: ymbcontact@industrial-archaoelogy.org by 31sdt May 2021.
