Your Master's Voice -
The new year has seen lots of events and activities being organised by our Committees and interest groups.
On 25th April we have our first ever Banquet at Mansion House . The Lord Mayor and at least one Sheriff will be present.
The key note speaker is Nikos Mourkogiannis, author of "Purpose".
For those interested in beer I'm organising a tour of the Windsor and Eton Brewery in August - so look out for notifications!
In the meantime please do visit the website to keep yourself updated on the many activities planned for members: including on 28th March Shop Talk at our new venue The Counting House, 50 Cornhill, near Bank . The next speaker is Martin Blackburn Head of People KPMG UK.

IN MEMORIAM - Professor Allan Williams (Liveryman)
We are very sad to report that our friend and colleague, Liveryman Allan Williams, Emeritus Professor of Organisational Psychology, has died, after a short illness.
An article Allan wrote for the Newsletter in October 2015 discussed “The growing linkage between the City University and the City of London : ...one of the most important interactions with the City being in the context of management development and financial research..." wcomc.org/2015Oct31-5
Allan had a book published in 2016: “Occupational Psychology, Management Education and Consultancy: A fifty-year narrative for academics striving to manage their careers in a competitive climate.”
A family man and a big walker! Adventurous. They toured Europe in a motorhome. One of his daughters attributes her love of the outdoors to him, and remembers them camping out in all weathers (including snow). She also remembers him sitting on the beach with his head in an academic book; and always had his laptop with him on holiday…
Further details relating to his funeral arrangements will be made available to the members as soon as they are known.
