REFLECTIONS OF A PAST PRESIDENT

Rob Young, our Immediate Past President has a few final reflections on his year, sorry, two years.

Final Words

So, my momentous two years as President has finally come to a conclusion, and may I say what an honour it has been to serve as your President in what has certainly been unprecedented times.

I am sad to have missed a number of the usual highlights, such as certainly hosting our enormously well respected Annual Dinner, attending and representing the Society at many other District Societies, and meeting many of our local members.

We were also able to host the LCR Innovation Investment Summit at the end of May, which proved to be a hugely positive event for the Society and the region."

However, in contrast to my first twenty one months as President my last three months have been active. I have enjoyed dinners in Sheffield, London (twice) and Leeds. I also attended the Beds, Bucks and Herts dinner in St Albans which sadly was the victim of a last minute power cut and had to be abandoned.

We were also able to host the LCR Innovation Investment Summit at the end of May, which proved to be a hugely positive event for the Society and the region.

I was also, rather ironically in light of our new President falling prey to the virus, able to leave you in person, by hosting the long overdue Civic Ceremony to commemorate the 150th anniversary of our Society at the Town Hall.

It has been a pleasure to chair the LSCA committee and I would like to thank the officers and committee members for their help and engagement during my time as President. I wish Justin the best of luck for his year in office.

Best wishes,

ROB YOUNG

President
