Next month I will be standing down from my role as Trustee
for PlaceNet. It isn’t as a result of a messy divorce or disagreement with my
colleagues, who I have thoroughly enjoyed working with over the course of the
last three years. It is more a question of family commitments taking priority
and not being able to give the same amount of time that I have volunteered after joining in 2013.
Since I first had contact with PlaceNet, after meeting the Chair at the National Placement and Internship Awards, I’ve had a great time attending conferences, both as a delegate
and presenter. I gained experience in handling communications for an
organisation, and helped with promoting Master Class events. Most importantly, I have had the pleasure of meeting a large number of extremely diligent placement
professionals, who share my passion for helping students with their fledgling careers
and promoting the virtues of work-based learning.

| When Graham met Matthias |
A big thank you to Matthias, Ginny, Mike, Sarah, Alex,
Christine, Vanetta and Jan for letting me be part of the gang over the past
three years. I wish you all well and am sure the upcoming #PlaceNet16 Conference in Birmingham will be a roaring success.
