'Tis the season to be jolly...

...I have been saving up my blog to give you some good news to tie in with this title and here it is:

* The Chartered Institute of Marketing has succeeded in achieving it's target of a healthy surplus of £1million for investment planned between 2009-2011
* The Institute has grown its membership by 2% this year
* We have smashed our target of 4,000 people on the Chartered CPD Programme and now have 10,000!

So, now I know why I am feeling tired and very grateful to all my active members in the regions. Give yourselves a pat on the back and despite the doom and gloom may you all have a very Merry Christmas.
