Find out how to become a CQI volunteer

The CQI relies on the dedication of people who give their time to help run boards, committees and community groups. These volunteers do vital work in supporting other quality professionals and ensuring the CQI remains a strong, powerful voice.

CQI volunteers don't just help the CQI and the quality industry, they also learn from each other, broaden their contacts and enhance their career prospects.

We're always on the lookout for new volunteers and there are plenty of opportunities for anyone who wants to get involved, whether it be in helping to decide how things are run and shaping the future of the profession or building a network of fellow professionals in your industry or local area.

Our volunteers are usually CQI|IRCA members and can be any membership grade, however we might co-opt non-members onto committees who can offer additional skills and knowledge.

I volunteer to develop my knowledge and understanding in an industry context and learn from my peers; to find different ways to approach issues that arise in the organisation I work for; to develop my personal networks and broaden my horizons by contact with quality professionals from all spheres of business.
