Eastern Region seeks feedback
In mid September, the IMS North West regional board members and their partners met for their annual lunch at The Owls in Standish near Wigan
Packed
The regional Chairs attended a meeting at IMS HQ to discuss the current and future operation of the Institute and to explore the possibility of involving the regions and regional board members at a higher level.
Media and marketing, education and development and membership and recruitment were discussed. In the spirit of widening the consultation progress, I would welcome members’ views on these topics, or any others you think we should be addressing. Please contact me if you would like more information.
I am also trying to locate a copy of the Institute’s Certifi cate Distance Learning Package (circa 1987). If you can help, please contact me via
imseasternregion.co.uk or on 020 8366 2445.
Ray Martin, Chair Eastern Region
programme for East Midlands Region
Despite the normal lull of activities during the summer holiday season, events have been continuing apace in the East Midlands Region.
In keeping with a now well established tradition, members turned out for a summer barbecue which, this year, was generously hosted by Paula Halford at her home in Leicestershire. The social gathering followed a region board meeting which saw an in depth discussion of current IMS strategies. The board is eager to progress a number of its ideas and these will be taken forward to the next meeting.
Notice
It is with great sadness that I have to report the deaths of two eminent colleagues. Lord Chilver, who served as President of the Institute from 1991 to 2000, died at the age of 85, on 8 July 2012. Tony Parry, past Chairman of the Institute (1995 to 1999), died at the age of 69, on 19 November 2012. Comprehensive reports on the life and career of both, will feature in the next edition of Management Services. Dr Andrew Muir, chairman
The East Midlands now has two board members who sit on the IMS Council of Management. Malcolm Towle, our Chairman, will chair the Membership and Recruitment Sub Group. Our region has always been proactive in welcoming new members so Malcolm will have several strategies at his elbow, including that of connecting the IMS more closely to major companies that use management services techniques in their operations. Some of the liaison procedures used by the region to maintain contact with members may also be helpful for other parts of the IMS structure.
John Lucey, our Council delegate for many years, has been appointed once again as company secretary to the Institute. John has made many sage contributions over the years and his presence and experience will be valued at all levels. A further board meeting on 24 November saw proposed activities fi nalised. Keep an eye out for our future programme of events and do come and join us!
