To be able to lead the organisation that supports and promotes the committed, clever, innovative and hard working people who deliver library and information services across all sectors is a huge honour and a great responsibility."
Nigel Macartney, leader of the CILIP Council and Chair of the Appointment Panel, says:
"Annie's experience as a senior library and information professional and as one who has worked, and led, across sector boundaries for the MLA makes her an ideal appointment."
