Lindsay Rees-Jones  

Biography - Lyndsay has just taken on the role of Senior Adviser, Membership Support Unit, at CILIP. This is a new unit (established on 1st June 2007) that she will be establishing with colleagues Kathy Ennis and Angela Frampton and is part of the response to the Review of Membership Engagement conducted by CILIP in the first three months of 2007.

Previous roles in CILIP have been as Workplace and Solo Adviser, and Senior Adviser WorkForceDevelopment. Her professional background has been in industry working most latterly for National Grid PLC, and prior to that in engineering. Her practitioner roles have been as a solo, which led to her ambition to support professionals who work in some degree of isolation. This experience translates well into the wider information profession.
