IQA Branches facilitate the networking and camaraderie that sets the IQA apart. It is through Branch events that lifelong friendships are made and strong connections with all parts of the industry are forged. Each Branch focuses on events that are relevant to their local area and in line with member needs. The Tasmania Branch has very strong standing friendships and relationship with the local industry. The Branch has a strong focus on education and runs the legendary annual technical weekend. The Branch has recently appointed a WIQ and YMN coordinator to broaden membership and the focus on diversity and inclusion. Ben Palmer (Director R.N.B Trading) is the Tasmania Branch Chair.
