Dear Member,

I’m both delighted and extremely honoured to represent you as President for your local Institute - Chelmsford and South Essex. My sincerest thanks to my predecessor Thomas Williams for his leadership in he past year. I’ll be looking to build on his exemplary work during my year in office.

My theme for 2018/19 is “looking forward” in preparation for any challenges we may face in the upcoming year. Specifically focusing on the following:

I am exceptionally proud of the hard work our council has put in to curating an excellent CPD programme.  A majority of the programme is free to you and is in my opinion the best benefit that we offer our members. To ensure that you continue to get the most out of this programme I have decided for us to provide a broader variety of sessions - option to attend breakfast meetings; new topics; webinars; etc. Some of these ideas have never been tried before by your local Institute and with your support we should be in a stronger position at the end of the year to meet your training and learning needs.
