Friday 20 January 2012

Dear Colleague

This January marks the start of an historic year for British sport and physical activity. With the arrival of the Olympic and Paralympic Games on UK soil for the first time in over sixty years, we are facing an unprecedented opportunity to promote the work we do as a sector and to get the British nation more active. The international spotlight will be firmly fixed on UK sport, and it is up to us now to make sure we exceed expectations by driving professional practice and delivering service excellence.

Even closer to home, 2012 also marks a new beginning for the Institute, as our Chartership comes into effect and we rebrand as CIMSPA - the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity. You may already have noticed some changes to our website and social media pages, and we appreciate your continued support as we go through this transition period.

On 24 January, we will also be welcoming the Chairs of our brand new National and Regional Management Boards for a briefing at our SportPark headquarters. The Boards will be launched officially in early February.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very Happy New Year. And what a year it promises to be.
