Welcome to our branch

Welcome to the CIPD Branch in Mid & North Anglia. We are a friendly and diverse community of people professionals providing opportunities for our members to learn and network with each other. As Chair of the CIPD Branch in Mid & North Anglia, I’m delighted to be working with an enthusiastic and dynamic volunteer committee to bring our members an interesting and varied programme of free events, updates and networking opportunities, wherever they are on their people profession journey.

Our aim is to be the local voice of the CIPD, championing better work and working lives, working to support you in your development, and providing opportunities to exchange ideas and share best practices and fresh insights.

Please feel free to engage with us at our online and live events, and scroll down to the end of this page to sign up for our monthly newsletter, which gives details and booking information for all our upcoming events.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

Get involved

Our branch committee is led by the branch chair, supported by other people professionals in the roles of vice-chair, branch treasurer, branch secretary and other committee members. The branch committee meets regularly to shape the branch programme.

We aim to provide a range of local events that will help our members with their professional development and offer opportunities for networking and mutual support too. Topics covered in our branch events cover employment law to wellbeing, and from diagnosing HR problems to immigration. Please let us know if you have any suggestions regarding subjects you would like to see covered. 

We have opportunities for newcomers to join our committee. Joining a branch committee is an excellent way to expand your network and extend your skillset. Roles are voluntary, and you can decide the level of commitment you are able to offer. To express interest, contact us by email.
