I want to offer my congratulations and best wishes to all the successful candidates in the CILIP Council election (and my commiserations to those who weren't elected). The new Council will have a good spread of expertise, and therefore I believe we really are ready to launch the 'new' CILIP on January 1st.
I would (of course) have been even happier with the process if the turnout had been higher - but we just have to work on that, and look for ways to increase interest and participation in CILIP's governance. I was pleased to see the 'online hustings' in the CILIP Communities and I hope this will be a regular feature of the process - maybe even supported by real hustings too!
Interested that you identify the need tolook for ways to increase interest and participation in CILIP's governance. Would be also interested in your thoughts on my recent post: CILIP: What is it Good for?
