Report of the Council for 2008

摘要

After 16 years of service to the Society, Ivor Goddard retired as Director General in 2008. It is a pleasure to record both my personal appreciation to Ivor and also the appreciation and thanks of the Society, for guiding us over the past 16 years—a period which included such challenges as the move to Errol Street and the merger with the Institute of Statisticians. Council decided that a change of job title to Executive Director more correctly reflected the changing duties of the role, and Martin Dougherty was appointed to the position, assuming office at the end of August.
