Responsibilities: The SoPHE Regional Representatives work with the SoPHE and CIBSE Region committees to bring events to SoPHE members in their region.

- working with the CIBSE regional committees to bring events to the SoPHE members in their local region
Description: The Society of Public Health Engineers (SoPHE) are looking for representatives for their West Midlands and Scotland Regions.
In this role, you will be the focal point to the planning of regional events which may include online webinars, in person technical presentations / CPD’s and possible panel discussions, and any celebratory events associated with the SoPHE Region.
The aim of the Society events is to not only act as a member benefit, but to give the Society membership an opportunity to have access to CPD’s, technical information & network with people from across the Industry.
As well as acting as the “lead” to an event, the Regional Representative will be expected to assist on the day / evening; welcome speakers & guests alike, ensuring that everyone is familiar with the agenda of the event; ensure that all necessary IT equipment is available & functioning correctly; to introduce themselves to guests & members as an approachable figure of the event, ensuring that CIBSE’s behavioural policy is adhered to.
The Regional Representative will have a large amount of communication to deal with, not necessarily on a daily basis; they should liaise with the CIBSE Networks and Engagement Team, and — in turn – receive a considerable amount of support from CIBSE members of staff with events experience.
The Regional Representative will be expected to report updates & progress at the Society’s Steering Committee meetings (held every other month in person and via MS Teams.) Regional Representative are encouraged to collaborate with the other CIBSE Groups, Regions, and Societies, as well as creating / forging links with other Societies / Institutions within the Industry, for example CIWEM, CIPHE, IHEEM, WMSoc.
Not only is this a great opportunity to network and leave a positive impact on the public health industry, volunteering for a CIBSE Society contributes to your CPD requirements.
