Heroic People

Some of you may be aware that during my Presidential Year I want to recognise some of the housing profession's heroic people. And I would like your support to help me identify them.

There are no complicated application forms to complete or exacting qualification criteria.- that's for you to decide. Nor do the people need to be CIH members or even closely related to the Chartered Institute of Housing. But they are likely to be people in the 'front line', who are making an outstanding contribution to everyday service delivery to any of the five million households in the sector.

Over the course of the next nine months, as I travel across the UK and across the world, I'll be taking time out to meet and recognise the achievements of as many people as possible - whether on this blog, at events, branch meetings or with the help of the media.

So let's celebrate those people who really make the difference to tenants and residents everyday. I look forward to hearing from you. Send your ideas to president@cih.org
