Thanks to the people who started this journey with me as Committee members. Your support and commitment made CILIP BAME Network possible.

Thank you CILIP for this kind statement as I complete my tenure as Chair of the CILIP BAME Network. It's been my honour to serve in this capacity. I look forward to continuing as a CILIP trustee and championing race equality and EDI more generally.

We’d like to thank Shirley for her tireless efforts and hard work on behalf of the network. She has been a tireless champion on behalf of the professionals and allies who are members and we will miss her!

Shirley Yearwood-Jackman has now completed her term as the chair of the CILIP BAME Network Network. Shirley has been instrumental in establishing the Network and we’d like to thank her for her outstanding contribution over the past three years. cilip.org.uk/news/600916/Sh…
