Campaign for Learning says goodbye to Chief Executive

After three years of heading the education charity, the Campaign for Learning, Susie Parsons has announced that she will be standing down as Chief Executive in May to return to management consultancy.

Speaking of her time at the Campaign, she said, "It has been a great privilege to lead the Campaign’s staff team and I am very proud of our achievements and grateful for the wonderful backing we have had from our Board of Trustees."

According to the charity, Parsons time as Chief Executive has seen the Campaign make great advances in the field of lifelong learning. Projects include the charity's flagship workplace campaign, Learning at Work Day, which now involves around a million employees each year, and the Making Learning Work research project which is providing new insights into how best to engage people with low levels of skills.

Chair of the Campaign for Learning Mike Leibling is delighted with the direction Susie Parsons has taken the Campaign in her three-year term as Chief Executive. He said," Susie's energy has been fantastic, and her achievements at the Campaign have been extraordinary. I'm naturally sad to see her move on at the end of her term and wish her enormously well."

Taking over the Campaign will be Linda Siegle as the new Chief Executive and Tricia Hartley, as Deputy Chief Executive. Siegle and Hartley are currently the Campaign’s Regional Directors for the South and North of England respectively. Parsons believes they can steer the Campaign to bigger and better things. She said, "Although I am sad to be leaving the Campaign, I am glad to leave it in such capable hands."
