The search to find and recruit a replacement for the popular current IIMS membership administrator, Jan Cox, has reached its conclusion. Jan, who formally retires from the Institute in February after many years’ service, was herself part of the interview process to find her successor. Two excellent candidates emerged as front-runners following the first round of interviews. Both were invited back for second and final meetings.

IIMS is delighted to announce that Camella (Cam) Robertson is the new Membership Secretary and will formally take up her new position on Monday 9 January 2017. Cam will work side by side with Jan for six weeks to enable her to learn about the role in depth. Cam brings with her a wealth of experience in managing a membership organisation, general administration and event management too. For the past four years, she has been Club Manager at the Royal Naval Club and Royal Albert Yacht Club, located in nearby Portsmouth.

Cam, who is married with two grown up children, is looking forward to getting stuck in to her new role.

IMS CEO, Mike Schwarz, commented, “Cam is an experienced and personable individual with a range of skills most useful to us. I believe IIMS is lucky to have found such a strong candidate to take on and build on the work that Jan has done. I wish Cam much success and am sure she will prove popular among members and that they will make her very welcome.”
