About the CIPD Branch Development Team
The team’s purpose is to provide best customer first service to enable branches to flourish, innovate and meet their full potential to support the profession.
The CIPD Branch Development team is led by Community Lead, Alexandra Carr who joined us at the end of March 2019. Alex previously worked at the British Accreditation Council as Deputy CEO and before that worked for CIPD as Centre Development Manager. She is responsible for the strategic direction of both the team and the branches and in particular looking at ways to improve the service we provide to the branches. Alex is in regular contact with our branch chairs. Ridhima Boojihawon is our Branch Development Officer who leads on training and resources and so is likely to respond to enquiries about the various systems we have available to you all. As a Data Protection Champion, she manages compliance for the team and all the branches. She joined the CIPD in June 2017 having previously volunteered with our Central London branch. Ciprian Arhire is our Projects and Programmes Executive and is key to the roll-out of new projects, any change management propositions and evaluations plus heads up the regional activities for CIPD London. Cip (pronounced ‘Chip’) joined the CIPD in June 2016, after spending a few years managing HR and operations for SMEs and two years volunteering for CIPD London and the East London and Docklands Branch leading on the programme of activities and the social media presence. He currently leads on the member-to-member mentoring programme, digital transformation for branches and several smaller projects on recruitment, student engagement and building specialist networks of practitioners. Based in Leicester we have Eleanor Lloyd-Jones who is Regional Network and Community Executive for the Midlands and supports the committees running ten branches which form the Midlands Area Partnership and builds relationships in the region. For branch volunteers in the Midlands, Eleanor is likely to be your first contact point with CIPD. Eleanor is our longest-serving team member; she started at CIPD in early 2010.
