Heads of Professional Services Community Meeting

Join fellow Heads of Professional Services for candid discussion and sharing of mutual issues

Facilitated by the Chair of the Chartered ABS Professional Managers Committee, David Meech Mazumdar (Department Manager - Strategic Planning & Development, Department of Management, London School of Economics and Political Science); this meeting provides an opportunity to Heads of Professional Services and those in similar positions to come together and discuss current opportunities and challenges as we begin a new academic year.

This meeting will also be the occasion to input into the programme of the upcoming Professional Managers Annual Conference (PMAC) taking place on 27th February, and of the new Professional Services Leadership Programme.

We encourage all members of the Chartered ABS to get involved.

Please note: This is a hybrid meeting. Participants may join online (through Teams) or in-person, at the London School Economics (see address below). For those joining in person, lunch will be served at 13:00. The online meeting will start promptly at 14:00 and finish at 15:00.

Attendance at this meeting is restricted to senior professional services staff at Chartered ABS member institutions. If you are unsure about whether you are eligible to attend this meeting, please contact Rebecca Adams ([email protected]).
