The past year has been a turbulent year for KIVI and for the Chartered Engineering department in particular.
 
This year is not only the founding year of the department, but a new board has also taken office. Some of you have already met us during the last general meeting.
It showed how much Chartership lives among you all. We are therefore very much looking forward to starting a course for mentors, reviewers and assessors next year. All preparations for this are in full swing.
 
What we are also busy with is to see what the status of all candidate members is. You will be approached for this at the beginning of next year. It is important for us to know where you stand in the process. If there is a need for a mentor, the Portfolio should be reviewed, and there are questions about the working method. Not only important to you, but also to us.
 
Next year there will also be a virtual walk-in consultation hour. An environment where you can ask questions about anything. You will also receive details about this early next year.
 
On behalf of the Chartership team of the Royal Institute of Engineers (KIVI), I would like to wish you a very merry Christmas and a very beautiful and healthy 2021.
 
Sincerely,
 

Dr. ir. Eelco Schrik CEng
Chairman of the KIVI department of Chartered Engineering
