Bo Skovgaard Christensen

Mit ingeniørliv har været præget af store forandringer og brancheskift, og for mig er det at være ingeniør synonymt med evnen til hurtigt at sætte sig ind i nye fagområder.
Efter at have startet i byggebranchen, har jeg gennem mit arbejdsliv været beskæftiget med softwareudvikling, systemadministration og international teknisk support, og har i en periode haft egen virksomhed. I dag arbejder jeg med signalsystemer og fjernstyring til jernbaner.

Jeg har mange jern i ilden som ulønnet frivillig i IDA. Jeg har været aktiv i fagteknikken gennem 11 år, og var gennem mange år formand for IDA Fly. I dag er jeg aktiv i bl.a. IDA Automotive.
Jeg har været medlem af SKU (de fagtekniske selskabers koordineringsudvalg) gennem 6 år, og sidder nu i IDAs repræsentantskab og hovedbestyrelse.
På min arbejdsplads er jeg formand for IDAs virksomhedsgruppe, og forhandler løn og vilkår på vegne af mine ingeniørkolleger.

Derudover er jeg medlem af repræsentantskabet i ingeniørernes arbejdsløshedskasse AKA.

Jeg ønsker først og fremmest at sikre, at IDA forbliver en forening som giver mest mulig værdi for medlemmerne. Det gælder arbejds- og ansættelsesforhold, faglige arrangementer, efteruddannelse, men også økonomiske medlemsfordele som indkøbs- og rabatordninger.
I den daglige debat skal IDA i udpræget grad være teknologiens stemme, som nøgternt anviser konkrete løsninger - ikke mindst på miljøområdet.
IDA skal ikke støtte politiske bevægelser eller sponsorere sportshold, IDA skal være faktabaseret og løsningsorienteret.

Jeg vil arbejde for

• at IDA udbyder stærke, faglige arrangementer over hele landet.
• at IDA udnytter den nyeste teknologi i medlemmernes tjeneste.
• at sikre, at de frivillige i IDA har gode vilkår, så IDA også i fremtiden vil blive båret frem af en stor indsats fra aktive medlemmer.
• at forhindre, at der laves regler på grundlag af enkeltsager - IDAs frivillige skal vises tillid under ansvar.

My engineering life has been characterized by major changes and switching between different lines of business, and for me the essence of being an engineer is the ability to quickly familiarize oneself with new disciplines.
After starting in the construction business, I have throughout my working life been engaged in software development, systems management and international technical support, and have for a period been running my own business. Today I work with signalling and remote control systems for railways.
I have been a volounteer within IDA for 11 years, through many years as chairman of IDA Aviation. I have also been a member of the SKU (Coordination Committee of the Technical Societies) through many years, the latter as deputy chairman. Today I´m part of IDA Automotive, end enjoy setting up events for IDA members.
At my workplace, I am chairman of the IDA Company Group, and thus negotiate salary and work conditions on behalf of my engineering colleagues.
I´m presently a member of the IDA board of Representatives and the Executive Board.
Furthermore, I´m member of the AKA board of representatives.

First of all, I want to ensure that IDA remains a union that provides the greatest possible value for its members. This applies to work and employment relationships, professional lectures, education, but also economic member benefits such as purchasing and discount schemes.
In the day-to-day debate, IDA must be the voice of technology, which suggests actual solutions, especially regarding environmental issues.
IDA should not support political movements or sponsor sports teams, IDA must be fact-based and focused on solutions.

I will work to ensure

• that IDA offers strong, professional events across the country.
• that IDA utilise the latest technology in the service of its members.
• that the volunteers in IDA have good working conditions, so that IDA continually will benefit from the efforts of many active members.
• that rules are not being made on the basis of individual cases - IDA volunteers must be shown confidence and freedom to act.
• that IDA provides support to start-ups and self-employed people.
