SCL welcomes new CILIP Chief Executive

The Society of Chief Librarians is delighted to learn of Annie Mauger’s appointment as the new Chief Executive of CILIP. 

SCL looks forward to developing the partnership between the two organisations with Annie when she arrives in November.  Workforce development, nurturing the skills of library staff and developing strong leaders for the future is critical for the profession. 

Nicky parker, President of the Society of Chief Librarians states:

‘Congratulations to Annie on her new appointment. 

Annie is formally a member of SCL, and drove innovation and improvement through her position on the SCL Executive.  When she moved to MLA Yorkshire she continued her support for libraries becoming an inspirational leader and firm advocate for cross-sector working which had a significant impact on service delivery in the region.

Bob McKee is a hard act to follow and I am confident that Annie will bring a fresh focus, her trade mark enthusiasm and hard negotiating skills to ensure libraries and their staff continue to improve in challenging times.
