The UK Events Industry Board recently confirmed the appointment of two new members – Jennifer Jenkins, CEO of the Event and Visual Communication Association (EVCOM) and events consultant Sarah Wright.
Jennifer Jenkins was appointed CEO at EVCOM in June 2017 after 15 years as managing director of global communications agency MCI Group. She is also the chair of events industry charity Meeting Needs, raising funds for worthy causes linked to the events industry.
After working across the financial, pharmaceutical, telecoms, professional service, Government and FMCG sectors in a corporate and agency capacity for 20 years, Sarah Wright now runs her own consultancy. She set up the Apprenticeship Programme in 2012 and is the director for Employer Engagement on the Event Apprenticeship Programme Board.
Sarah Wright will be leading a new Working Group for the Events Industry Board that will consider current skills gaps and the future skills and resources required for the events industry in a post Brexit environment.
