Doing our bit for charity
If there is an opportunity to raise some money for an important cause, we know CiB members are keen to get involved. The raffle at this year’s Annual Dinner has a great selection of prizes that will be unveiled at the conference. This CiB has chosen to support the important work of the Air Ambulance around the UK. On average, an emergency air ambulance takes off every 10 minutes in the UK, flying 365 days a year in daylight hours. Put another way, during every hour of every day seven Air Ambulances are attending accidents and medical trauma. The Association of Air Ambulance Charities (AAAC) exists to support the work of the UK's many Independent Air Ambulance Charities. In England and Wales there are 16 dedicated Air Ambulance operations flying a total of 22 helicopters and all are reliant upon charitable support. Don't forget to book!
Nigel Legg, e-Media Manager, UK Communications & Corporate responsibility, AstraZeneca plc, and a regular conference delegate, says: “Developing communications in isolation is a dangerous business. Conference gives me the opportunity to immerse myself for two days in what is going on in the communications business and pick up on how others may have solved the problems currently flinging themselves upon me. It's also extremely therapeutic to be with folks doing the same sort of thing in a no-pressure environment like this.” Ian Grogan, Senior Communications Adviser at the Home Office, which is sponsoring this year’s event, sees the conference as a valuable training opportunity for his Home Office teams as well as colleagues working across government. He says: "I’ve only missed one CiB national conference in the last eight years and that tells a story in itself. The conference is a great forum for cross-fertilisation, where communication professionals from all disciplines can immerse themselves in the IC culture. "It’s a great place to meet people and share ideas and best practice. Coupled with that, the twin themes at this year’s conference of change communication and staff engagement are really relevant and topical to most major organisations at this moment in time.’ Why not find out more?
