EVCOM chairperson Rachel Pendered has resigned from her post, due to family commitments.
Pendered has been chair since July 2018. EVCOM CEO Jenny Jenkins (pictured) commented: “It’s so sad Rachel has had to stand down. However, we understand her family comes first.
“Rachel worked so hard in introducing new ideas and member benefits,” Jenny adds. “We thank her for all her hard work and wish her well.”
Jenkins, whose contract was due to run out at the end of March, will now remain in post until after the annual general meeting (AGM) in July.
EVCOM has also made two further announcements: it is relaunching the Clarion awards, and has released its events programme for the rest of 2019.
The new programme includes the EVCOMference, which brings together members for a day of thought leadership and industry insight, as well as the Fellowship awards, again to be held at the House of Lords.
The Clarions are re-launching following a 12-month pause, celebrating the best in corporate social responsibility and sustainability across the film, video, digital and live events industries.
Jenkins added: “EVCOM is committed to making its members more successful. It is the only trade association that brings together corporate members, agencies, production companies, suppliers, destinations and freelances across a multichannel community. Our programme of events is unrivalled, with something for everyone.”
