WES and the ICE
The Wind Engineering Society is a Specialist Knowledge Society of the Institution of Civil Engineers. While the Society is effectively self-governing, this relationship allows WES to make use of the ICE's administrative support for the collection of membership subscriptions, newsletter circulations etc. Members of the Society do not have to be members of the ICE. Liaison with the ICE is maintained by mutual representation between the Structure and Building Board of the Institution and the Executive Committee of the Society.
