Anna Lancaster CIHCM | Graduate trainee, Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE)

I have recently joined the CIHNI Futures group - a group of young housing professionals. It has been great to meet more like-minded young people in the sector and to be involved in the social media campaigns. Being a part of CIH has given me so many opportunities, it has helped me to excel in my career, but more importantly, it makes me feel as though I am a true housing professional.

Sian Diaz CIHM | Senior development manager, Lovell Partnerships Ltd

I have worked at Lovell for 15 years. I do think that being a member of the CIH provides a level of confidence to those I interact with on a day to day basis. I now work in South Wales and in the South West delivering all tenures of housing and work with various local authorities, government bodies housing associations, consultants, private landowners and the public. The CIH is nationally recognised and having an affiliation with it at a personal as well as corporate level only adds value.

Caroline Lester CIHM | Relationship manager, MCP Property Services Ltd

I have been a member of CIH for many years. I believe that professionalism in housing should be recognised. When buying a house, we would only use RICS Qualified surveyors to carry out the survey, so why would we not insist that those managing housing stock be professionally qualified too? I am proud to be a CIH Member, a champion and a board member. I am keen to see professional standards improved within the Social Housing sector.
