    Annual Review 2019 Incorporating the annual report and accounts of the Institution of Chemical Engineers Led by members, supporting members and serving society The big picture and a systems approach I was honoured to be elected Deputy President in May. Spending six months as Deputy before becoming President allowed me time to listen and understand how the Trustees, Congress and members are working to move our Institution forward. Through Ken Rivers’ extended leadership in 2019, the Institution focussed on encouraging member engagement. Congress members were key to this and have done a great job representing their constituencies in the member advisory body’s fi rst full year of operation. The Trustees are continuing to listen to you, the membership, which is why we conducted the membership engagement survey in March. We were delighted that more than 1,900 of you invested your time to tell us what matters to you most. Primarily, you wanted IChemE to focus on: ■ being an ambassador (encouraging and supporting the next generation of chemical engineers); ■ better communication of our activities as a learned society and what we’re doing to infl uence policy; and ■ improving the volunteer experience. We are taking these actions forward through Strategy 2024, our fi ve-year plan that we launched in July that will enable us to be truly member-led. The activities described in this Annual Review are driven by our enthusiastic members. It is our members that assist chemical engineers across the world to be professional and technical leaders, addressing global challenges, such as the climate emergency and helping to deliver a safer profession and society.
