"We need to develop a vibrant Institution which improves on the services we already offer to members and encourages new members to join".
"In the last year, we reached over 200,000 individuals through our range of professional services".
"We must continue build on this engagement with the engineering community, as well as with government, academia and the public at large to help ensure maximum benefit for the profession and the economy".

Jackson also led in the development of a new portfolio of seven vertical magazines, which helped to increase reader appreciation, audience size and online participation.
