All these hard-earned awards are down to the team here at the CIPP, and reflects on the commitment, passion and quality of service received by you, our members. Plans for 2019 As we come to the close of 2018, Eira Hammond, CIPP chair since July 2016, has stood down at the end of her term at the AGM on 4 December 2018. Chair elect Jason Davenport has become the CIPP’s new chair for 2019 and 2020. Eira’s outstanding contribution to the CIPP as chair was recognised by members, staff and the board at our Annual Conference, graduation ceremony and her final board meeting on 1 November. Eira has passionately promoted CIPP worldwide and her legacy is in leaving the Institute and board in a strong position of leading payroll and pensions professionals through education, membership and recognition. In terms of strategic direction for 2019, the board have focused on a review of our qualifications portfolio, membership and digital marketing. The CIPP senior management team have been working on this through 2018 and this will be the focus of the board during the early part of 2019 with updates and progress to be provided to the membership during 2019.
2018 summary As set out in the annual accounts, I am pleased to report another successful year for the CIPP, both operationally and financially. Our core activities of education, qualifications and membership have, once again, proved to be particularly busy, and I am also pleased announce the CIPP declared a surplus for a second successive year. During 2018, the board of directors has continued to support and provide strategic direction to the CIPP membership. This was founded on re-establishing our core identity and drivers, such as: setting a clear career roadmap in our education and training space; focussing on delivery of a ‘best of class’ training provision; improving the quality of our public-facing material; more focus on greater use of digital media for both education and training; and on issuing a streamlined and easier to understand prospectus. All these activities were successfully achieved during 2018. Having established this base, we will ensure these key areas of delivery continue to have our focus and will be maintained in forthcoming years. Preparing for new board members in 2018, the annual general meeting (AGM) on 5 December 2017 saw thirteen members put forward their names for election, the highest number in CIPP’s history, to fill the three board vacancies. I was pleased to announce the successful election of Suzanne Gallagher, Stuart Hall and Lizabeth Lay as board directors from 5 December 2017, and for the support that their experience in our industry will bring
us over the next few years. In addition, the pensions board role came up for re-election and as Cliff Vidgeon was the only nominee for this post he was successfully re-elected. ...the board have focused on a review of our qualifications portfolio, membership and digital marketing A key achievement in 2018 was being able to offer Chartered membership to individuals who join and meet the criteria. This is important for ambitious payroll professionals who wish to demonstrate their professionalism, expertise, skills and knowledge – Chartered Members can use the CIPP Chartered Member logo on their social media profiles and email signatures. We were pleased to welcome our first 24 Chartered Members during 2018 whose profiles are reflected on the CIPP website ( www.cipp.org.uk/join-cipp/chartered- membership ). I must mention the host of accreditations the CIPP has received during 2018.
