As some of you may be aware, I’m standing down from my position as Development Officer of the Student Radio Association.
As of today, we’re entering the handover month: effectively I’ll be job sharing with my successor, Sejal Kansara, for the month. I’ll leave the post at the end of June.
It’s been a hugely productive year for the SRA: starting with a major rebrand and new website (which is now constantly being improved) to arguably the best awards night in the event’s 13 year history and the biggest student radio conference ever held.
For me, it brings to a close nearly 6 years of student radio and close to a quarter of my life working towards improving student radio in Birmingham and nationally… starting with a last minute (and drunken) decision to present a Sunday afternoon show on October 26th 2003, to the antics of Southampton, York and ending with the exhausting long weekend that was the Leeds conference.
I’d like to take the opportunity to wish the next executive the best of success for the coming year.
As for this blog, I’ll keep it open and updated as best as I can, though the focus and content will move away from my own work to my thoughts on how industry movements will affect student radio.
Cheers,
Ian
