Our speakers

Nita Clarke OBE – IPA Director

Will you please pass on to Nita my huge personal thanks for her outstanding contribution to our Development Event on Wednesday.  It was nothing short of magnificent. To hold the attention of so many people for an hour-and-a-half was in itself talent written large. The buzz that Nita created carried on and everyone valued and appreciated her presence with us.

Amazing presentation, engagement, knowledge and delivery, very useful information – most helpful”

I wouldn’t want to start the week without another word of thank you for your invaluable contribution to our Annual Stakeholder Forum. Both your key note as well as interventions during the plenary debate helped a lot to make the overall event a great experience for all participants.
