A dynamic spring!
After a month of March marked by the Journées Nationales de l'Ingénieur, April is traditionally an important time for IESF, with the launch of the annual survey, for which I call on everyone to mobilize for massive responses.
But this month of April is also marked by the restituti This is very promising for the future, as are the numerous candidatures received for the partial renewal of our Board of Directors - 20 in all - with, here too, a fine mobilization of young professionals, particularly in College A, representing the associations .
It's a great momentum, and it's up to us to build on it!
