I am humbled to walk in the footsteps of some of the giants of our profession. I look forward to supporting Jenni Field, our President for 2020, and I’m committed to delivering the best I can for our profession, institute, volunteers and members.
I’d like to thank those who supported me and everyone who took part, not least Rachel Royall, for a positive debate about the direction of CIPR.
It is great to see two excellent candidates standing for President and to see a record number of votes cast.
