UPDATE
ON THE FUTURE OF THE
BENEVOLENT FUND
The Institute of Automotive Engineer Assessors (IAEA) Benevolent Fund recently helped
out a long-standing IAEA Member (a Member since 1969) and were able to offer some
昀椀nancial assistance to support after an unfortunate series of events which had led to
some hardship.
hris Jones is Chairman
of the Benevolent
fund, with David
Ashall, Alan Russell,
and Alan Doughty,
supporting as Trustees. In future issues
of The Assessors Journal we are keen
to continue to promote the Fund
to Members after this introductory
overview.

voluntary basis and is 昀椀nanced by
voluntary contributions added to
annual membership subscriptions

donations received from the regions
and personal bequeaths made to the
