IHBC membership support day
The East Midlands Branch has just hosted a pilot membership support day designed to help people apply for IHBC membership, where over 80 affiliates, members and non-members explored and heard about the IHBC’s application process and accreditation standards, and gained tips on how develop skills and approach membership applications, all for free and in the splendid setting of Derby’s magnificent Roundhouse complex, a tour of which formed part of the day.
IHBC Chair Mike Brown said: ‘Many thanks to those of you who came along to the event, and contributed to the discussions, whether online or in person. I was very sorry not to be there due to work pressures, but was delighted by the enthusiastic reception and access through our rapidly evolving social media infrastructure.’
‘For those, like myself, unable to attend, or any who would like a reminder of the day, we have set up a ‘Storify’ of the day featuring a selection of social media posts and information from the event. And remember too that no account is needed to view the Storify: it is a free online service that collates news to help tell the digital story of an event so even if you are a novice here like myself you can easily scan the happenings on the day.’
‘We hope to run more of these events in other branch areas in the future too – as this was a pilot – so keep an eye on the NewsBlog and events calendar for more information.’
