KIVI Hydraulic Engineering Board seeks a representative on the Council of Members.

The board of the KIVI Department of Hydraulic Engineering is looking for a representative to sit on the Council of Members on behalf of the department.

What is the Council of Members?

The Council of Members is the highest body of KIVI, it determines the association's policy and controls the Executive Board.

The representative in the Council of Members brings the views of the department to the Council of Members and provides feedback on developments within KIVI and the General Board in the department's regular board meetings. The Council of Members meets twice a year (June and December).

Important function

KIVI Hydraulic Engineering is one of the largest professional departments, so good representation and rapport with the main board is vital for KIVI and our own professional department.

Sign up!

If you would like to contribute to KIVI and the Hydraulic Engineering Department, please apply to the secretary Vyasa Sewberath-Misser vyasa.sewberath-misser@rws.nl. Preferably you are still actively involved in the labour market, so that there is also a connection with the professional field.
