BABTAC & CIBTAC have appointed three new business professionals to their Council. The not-for-profit Professional Association and Awarding Body are governed by an elected Council, who work to help influence the industry, provide a code of conduct and ensure the organisations are held accountable. The three new members are beauty industry professionals Felicity Leahy, Kelly Shaw and Lynn Kimpton.
Speaking of the new board members, Jason Phillips, vice-chair says, "BABTAC & CIBTAC are prestigious, well-respected businesses and the Council offer an external perspective to their activities. Under our guidelines, Board members may serve for up to eight years, and we have an obligation to ensure that members are replaced by knowledgeable, passionate individuals when they leave; this diversity and development helps ensure progression and keeps the businesses moving forward. We had a lot of applications and we all felt that Kelly, Lynn and Felicity have the right attitude and understand the gravitas of the position. I am looking forward to working with them in the coming months and when I take up my position of Chair next year."
