Why has my subscription increased?
The Trustees made the difficult decision to increase subscriptions because we need to move out of the current position where our operating costs exceed the subscription revenue. We have made a number of cost savings, but in order to further reduce the gap between income and expenditure, we have no choice but to increase our subscriptions.
Why is the membership subscription rate for Fellows higher than the subscription rate for other categories?
The fee structure for Fellows was revised to rationalise the charging related to Registration with Engineering Council and encourage applications for Fellowship from members who choose not to hold UK Registration.
Fellows are asked to pay a small amount more annually than members because they enjoy a special level of service from the Institution. There is a member of staff dedicated to the Fellow community, and prestigious networking events are held to allow newly elected Fellows to meet each other and eminent senior members of the 新萄新京十大正规网站.
