ICOM UK held its 2023 AGM online on Friday 16 June 2023. Thank you to all of our members who attended, or who took time to vote in advance of the AGM.
We said goodbye to a number of long-standing ICOM UK Committee Members, who reached the end of their terms at the AGM:
Catherine McDermott (former Co-Chair, Secretary and Ordinary Member)
Nigel Sadler (former Head of the Bursary Committee and Ordinary Member)
Edmund Connolly (former Ordinary Member and Secretary)
In recent months, due to personal and professional commitments, we also said goodbye to:
Jilly Burns (former Scotland Representative and Ordinary Member)
Pip Diment (former Ordinary Member and previously Wales Representative)
Elena Perez Alvaro (former UK Blue Shield Representative and Ordinary Member)
We thank all of the former committee members for their time, advice, guidance and support over the many years they served on the ICOM UK Committee. Without them, ICOM UK would not be where it is today.
At the 2023 AGM several new ICOM UK Committee Members were voted in:
Nerys Rudder, Collections Officer, Our Town Hall Project, Manchester City Council (Ordinary Member)
Abeer Eladany, Curatorial Assistant, University of Aberdeen Museums and Special Collections (Ordinary Member)

Liz Johnson, Director, Museums & Collections Development, Arts Council England (Ordinary Member)
We hope you will join us in welcoming our new Committee Members.
