Volunteering has given me the chance to talk about planning with peers, outside of a work context but in the interests of the development of the profession and the institute. Alice Lester MBE FRTPI, London.
My top tip is just to get yourself in there, regardless of where you are in your career. Regardless of where you are workwise and with the role that you're in, I think it's a great friendly environment where there's lots of opportunities and I think it will absolutely aid you in what you're doing and develop your career. Eleanor Rawsthorne, PAE volunteer, NW region task group.
