The CMS Consortium and exeGesIS are running a series of Regional Seminars around the UK looking at management planning theory and practise as well as the software tools to help you work with your management plans.
The first of these seminars was held at Attingham Hall near Shrewsbury on Tuesday December 11th 2007. It was very successful and here are some of the comments from participants:
- John Tucker (Shropshire Hills AONB): “Can I start my career again please?”
- Natalie Taylor (Cardiff City Council): “It was an excellent taster into planning and CMS”
- Martin Sutton (Telford & Wrekin Council): “Very interesting and thought provoking and very nicely pitched”
