> As you can see, I have to invite nominations for deputy chair. The APHE has had to say goodbye to Catherine Fehily, who has been a splendid, enthusiastic and hardworking deputy chair for the past few years. Catherine has a mountain of work as Programme Area Manager - Arts, Culture and Design in the Faculty of Arts Media and Design at Staffordshire University, and has to give us up. I am sure that everyone will join me in thanking her and wishing her well. Although there are not enough hours in the day to be on the APHE executive, I hope she will manage to join us on many occasions in the future.
>

>
> So, please send me nominations for deputy chair of the association. I would be grateful if you would liaise with colleagues and ensure that anyone you nominate is happy to be nominated. I suggest that nominations close two weeks from today, on 5th May.

> The second job I must do promptly, is remind you that the AOP Lecturers Day is next Thursday 28th April, and that is a good opportunity for APHE members to bring forward ideas and new thinking about education to share with the AOP. I look forward to seeing some of you there.
