\n<\/strong>Trudi Elliot CBE has been appointed the new Chief Executive of the RTPI <\/strong>and \u00a0will work closely with RTPI Managing Director Sara Drake and Sue Percy, Director of Professional Services.
\n<\/span>
\nRichard Summers, Chairman of the RTPI Board said: \u201cI am delighted to welcome Trudi to the RTPI as our new Chief Executive. She brings to the Institute extensive senior level leadership and planning experience and has an impressive track record of successfully managing complex organisations with high public accountability and profile. Trudi will play a crucial role at this vital time, building on our recent growth and achievement. \u00a0She will ensure the RTPI continues to champion the profession in the most effective way possible and to improve the services provided to members in what remains a challenging economic environment. Trudi joins the RTPI from the\u00a0Government Office\u00a0for the\u00a0West Midlands, where she has been Director since 2006. She has a long background in planning and takes up her appointment from\u00a04 January 2011\u201d.<\/p>\n

Trudi Elliot said: \u201cI am very much looking forward to joining the Institute. These are challenging times for planners and the profession but I see planning as being very much part of the solution in laying the foundations for investment in infrastructure, services, job and home creation. It is also one of the key tools for delivering the aspirations of communities and in shaping and protecting the environment. For RTPI members, one of my key aims will be to continue to make sure we are providing the best possible service at an affordable cost, as well as having a voice that is heard at the very highest levels of decision-making so we can work constructively and effectively with the Government, helping to develop a planning system which works, and one that is supported by good practice. Getting out into the regions and nations to meet members and engaging with the forthcoming Decentralisation and Localism Bill are two of my top priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n
