At the meeting, six newly elected Council members, who volunteer their time to support colleagues, the Institute and the language professions, were announced. Only CIOL members and associates were entitled to nominate and vote for members of Council, and I felt honoured to have been chosen to be part of the Institute's Governance along with Carina Balbo, Alistair A day for all © CHRIS CHRISTODOULOU
