Best wishes for 2010 from the Leicestershire CIPD Branch Committee

2010 will bring changes for all of us - a new government (!), the end of the recession (?) and perhaps that dream job or holiday.  Whatever the year brings the Leicestershire Branch will be there to provide events and activites to support your Professional Development (based on the new Professional Map), help you network and meet new colleagues from the world of people management and development.

We would love to meet you so get the branch event dates in your diary NOW
