UK Training Industry Press Releases

For the first time in the 21-year history of the eLearning Network (eLN), the UK's foremost professional association of users and developers of all forms of e-learning, there has been competition for places on the committee, with 19 candidates standing for the 12 available places. According to the eLN's chairman Clive Shepherd, who announced the results of the election, at the eLN meeting held in London at the end of November, the voting was close, with a single vote making the difference between being elected or not.

The eLN elected four new committee members for 2009. They are Carole Bower, SVP Learning, Edvantage Group; Fae Longman, IT Training Manager with CMS Cameron McKenna; Rob Hubbard, eLearning Architect at Learning Age Solutions, and Wendy Stubbs, Learning Innovations Consultant with British Airways.

Having announced the election results, Shepherd paid tribute to three long-serving members of the eLN committee who were stepping down in 2009: Geoff Berridge, of Parataxis; Howard Hills, of Howard Hills Associates, and Jan Seabrook, of Conation Technologies.

"While ours is a forward-looking organisation dealing with leading edge technology, we mustn't forget our history and heritage," commented Shepherd.
