NI Regional Committee
EIC is always looking for new members and new committees to help showcase and generate awareness of the charity and all of its services and events. Its regional committees play a crucial role in supporting and advancing fundraising efforts within a specific geographic area. The committee is typically composed of dedicated volunteers who are passionate about the mission and goal of the EIC. Their primary responsibility is to strategise, plan and execute fundraising initiatives and events within their region. The committee members work closely with the EIC’s event team to identify potential donors, cultivate relationships and solicit contributions. They may participate in prospect research, outreach activities and stewardship efforts to ensure long- term donor engagement and support. The committee also collaborates with regional businesses, industry leaders and other stakeholders to expand the EIC’s fundraising network.
BELFAST ABSEIL
Committee members serve as ambassadors for EIC, actively
need within the electrical and energy industries, providing financial assistance, emotional support and invaluable resources. With continued support, the charity is aiming to expand its reach, empower more lives and champion positive change across its industries. Members of the electrical and energy industries are invited to get involved through fundraising, volunteering or spreading awareness, either through their own initiatives or by supporting organised EIC events.
