IHE Presidential Team has it’s first virtual meeting

  • Wednesday June 24, 2020

The Institute’s presidential team consisting of the president Jonathan Pearson, senior vice president Stephen Webb, junior vice president Martin Polland and honorary treasurer Ellie Gormley were joined by chief executive Steve Spender and deputy chief executive Chris Dobson for their first virtual meeting due to the COVID-19 restrictions.

The meeting was held in April via Zoom and was a great success. It enabled those in attendance to discuss some of the important business necessary to ensure the continued operations of the IHE during this period of lockdown.

The IHE staff are still working as normal through remote working and continue to support our members during this difficult period. We are still able to provide advice, guidance and assistance, particularly to those wishing to use the available time to progress their applications towards professional review.

Many of our members continue to help provide essential services such as maintaining a safe network, as well as continuing to prepare schemes and work packages in preparation for any relaxation
of the current restrictions.

If you require any assistance from the IHE HQ staff do not hesitate to email us at: info@theihe.org
