Dec 23rd 2011 CHME E-News Autumn 2011
'It has been another busy year with the publication of two reports by CHME outlining important future directions for Higher Edu- cation and hospitality re- search. Both of these reports are free to mem- bers. We held three suc- cessful conferences in Huddersfield, Leeds and London. We welcomed new members to the Ex- ecutive Committee: Dr Peter Lugosi, Oxford Brookes University (Research) and Tim West from Lexington Catering (Industry representative). We are delighted that Edward Gallier has been elected as Chair of Path, with Dr Judie Gannon (Oxford Brookes) as the Deputy. Many heart-felt thanks to Angie Maher for all her hard work and con- tribution to PATH as the outgoing Chair. The same gratitude goes to Isabell Hodgson, who as a result of early retirement, has stepped down as Co-Chair but happily will remain on the Executive in the role as CHME Co-ordinator. In this way all Isabell’s tal ents and contribution to CHME will not be missed...'
