It is always a pleasure to welcome new faces to our Technical Committees and this year we are doubly delighted to see 11 younger members join us as Junior Technical Committee Members. Last year, the Executive Committee introduced this new category to help IUMI work towards its Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) goals. Applicants must have at least five, but no more than 15, years of experience and may serve for an initial two-year appointment and then be eligible for reappointment for a further two years.
