CILIP’s new Vice President confirmed NEWS
NEW CILIP Vice President Carryl Allardice is Head of Profession for Knowledge and Information Manage- ment at the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), where she has been chief librarian for almost 20 years. Her role also sees her lead on Information and Knowledge Management in sup- port of 17,000 staff who work in the FCDO’s global network of 281 offices around the world.

Carryl will take on the role of CILIP Vice President in 2025, before assuming the President role the following year. She will use her time on CILIP’s Presidential Team
to advocate for professional development and standards, saying: “I welcome the hon- our of being able to give back to the library and information professional community as Vice President and then President of CILIP, having enjoyed the privilege of working as a librarian and information professional. “My goal is to inspire the community through my advocacy of the profession and to address vital issues that matter to our members. I will use my new role over the next two years to champion CILIP’s Pro- fessional Registration work, highlighting the importance of library and knowledge professionals investing in their skills, as well as demonstrating their professional credentials through certification, charter- ship, fellowship and revalidation. I will also seek to influence others on the impor- tance of ethical standards to uphold our international professional standing.” CILIP Chief Executive Louis Coiffait-Gunn
