Keith Moffitt was re-elected as Chair of Council, and Christine Pocock and Tony Bell were re-elected as Vice-Chair and Honorary Treasurer respectively. Karen Stokes stood down from the Editorial Board after seven years' service – four as Chair. Council thanked Karen for her significant contribution to the development of The Linguist, in particular its transition to an online presence. Ken Paver was appointed as Chair of the Editorial Board and Council wished him well in the role. Ann Carlisle reported on the recent activities of the Educational Trust. The 2014 Diploma in Translation session has run smoothly, with results due for release shortly. The new team had performed well in challenging circumstances, as a result of staff changes during the session. The CBS Police examinations had taken place at the end of March, with 50 candidates in nine languages. I reported that the new and much improved Find-a-Linguist (F-a-L) service would be launched with the new website, which was making excellent progress. The website will provide a platform that will improve customer experience and engagement. At the AGM on 15 March, staff member and project coordinator Jack Sellen had given those present a short presentation on the website. I also reported on the findings of the Membership Survey (for details, see page 8). Work on the new Strategic Plan is well underway, and Council considered a draft version at the meeting. It was agreed that members of Council and the Trust Board should meet for a half day during the following few weeks to review and fine-tune the plan, with a view to bringing a final version for approval to the next Council meeting in July.
