This is to inform everyone that the RGS-IBG have appointed a new director who
will take up post in August. She, let me repeat that, she is Dr Rita Gardner,
the ex secretary of the RGS. I hope that the appointment of a woman as director
will send an important signal about the ethos and direction of the organization
....Of course Britain had a woman prime minister who did not do a lot to advancethe cause of justice, greater equality etc, but I hope that Rita's appointment
will indicate a significant shift in the ethos of the organization. She is also
a practising academic...currently SL in geography at QMW.
