Members have elected their 2008 MIPAA Limited Executive Committee (EC) comprising Mark Harrison (BMW), Gabi Whitfield (Nissan), Phil Hale (PRISM) and Steve Carman (NoBull Communications). Peter Haynes (Automotive PR) narrowly missed out on a place on the EC this year.
Announcing the results at the MIPAA Christmas lunch at the Kensington Roof Gardens on 6 December, chairman Mark Harrison outlined a busy year ahead as the organisation celebrates its 40th anniversary. The first job of the new EC will be to appoint an Operating Committee (OC) to help drive forward the planned activities. All members are eligible to put themselves forward to be part of the team and are asked to contact General Secretary, Heather Yaxley by 31 December 2007 to express their interest.
