CIPP update
The CIPP’s Christmas party 2023 ON 15 DECEMBER 2023, CIPP employees attended the NEC’s ‘Christmas party world’ to revel in the festive spirit and celebrate the year gone by. We enjoyed a lovely three-course meal accompanied by captivating entertainment, and then put on our dancing shoes with a DJ taking us into the night.
Market Insight Survey closes OUR 2024 Market Insight Survey closed at the end of January and gave you, as stakeholders of the CIPP, the opportunity to let us know what you think about the services we provide. This will assist us with our 2024 strategies, allowing us to continue developing our services so you can enhance your knowledge, build your professional community and further your career. We would like to thank everyone who completed the survey and helped to shape the future of the professional body and industry.
The CIPP’s Graduation Ceremony YOU WILL have seen coverage of the CIPP’s prestigious Graduation Ceremony in the December / January issue of Professional . Due to the slightly later timing of the event in 2023 and magazine production deadlines being what they are, we didn’t have the opportunity to bring you quotes from some of our fabulous award winners, but now we can.
