Isle´s Managing Director for the UK, Karyn Georges has been awarded the CIWEM (The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management) Fellowship, CIWEM´s
highest membership grade. Alastair Chisholm, the Director of Policy of CIWEM said: “Around the world, people face new and challenging water and environmental problems every day. Achieving FCIWEM demonstrates you have made a significant contribution to addressing these issues and will enable you to continue to inspire others and help future generations.” On being admitted as a fellow to CIWEM, Karyn said: “I passionately believe in the mission of the Institute to build a global community of water and environmental professionals, working for the public benefit. Since I started working in the sector I’ve seen many positive changes in terms of gender diversity. Around 10% of CIWEM Fellows are women, with the proportion increasing every year. “You can’t be what you can’t see”, so I hope I can act as a bit of inspiration for other women to apply too.”
