A new beginning for the IDE

This Thursday at 9.00am will see the IDE Council of Management meet in full for the first time since the sudden resignation of Valerie Stroud following the successful seminar in Leeds at the end of February.

The council, under the leadership of Steve Jack, will sit for the first time since the bombshell resignation and plan IDE activities, consider membership applications and address member concerns.

For the new National Secretary, Maureen Tong-Ralphs, it will be first time that she has met or spoken to many council members so it will give them the opportunity to meet her and welcome her into the position. Maureen was recruited following a lengthy series of interviews by President Steve Jack, Vice President Duncan Rudall and Stuart Accleton and she is now working her way through the backlog of work left behind when Valerie Stroud resigned.

Items for discussion at the council remain confidential, but I can tell you that the events team will discuss the forthcoming Demo Expo 2013, the OGGS Seminar booked for Friday 27 September and the AGM and annual luncheon booked for Friday 15 November.
