A number of you will have already learnt of the sudden and untimely death of the Chair of the Chartership Board a few days ago. The Board meeting scheduled for the 18th September was postponed as a mark of respect. However, the meeting has been rearranged and the completion of assessments and the confirmation of results will proceed after a short delay. We know that you will all understand that these are exceptional and most unfortunate circumstances and we hope that you will be patient with us. **** Susan Kay Professional Adviser Membership, Careers & Qualifications Department [log in to unmask] T: 020 7255 0612 CILIP: the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals was formed in April 2002 following the unification of the Institute of Information Scientists and the Library Association ****
