Professional development opportunities - clarification sought please Retailing of books with member discounts - logistically challenging - volunteers ?
Possible ASCP services Contact details for contractors & government departments - please clarify - all sponsors are listed on the ASCP website A list of people who can answer questions ! - Professional Indemnity issues - not considered to be an ASCP function (at this stage) Facilitate movement of junior engineers between public & private organisations - outside the role of ASCP
Possible ASCP services Preferred contractor and product listings - ASCP is not in a position to do this, nor is it considered to be an appropriate role for ASCP. Technical papers on the website - Kevin is considering the options, a few links exist already; - a time-consuming exercise, and a debatable ASCP function.
