“Becoming a CILIP sub-branch member… enabled me to meet a number of local professionals who have

offered valuable insight into the profession”

Working within a sub-branch team is valuable

experience in itself

“My ACLIP application was my main reason for joining the committee... It has helped my

professional development in ways I had not anticipated and I now have more to offer to my

employers.”
