I took a few hours out today to attend an Urbano Networking Event in London, where Jane Duncan (Jane Duncan Architects), the new President of RIBA was speaking.  I found her talk refreshing, uplifting and feel sure she will be a breath of fresh air at RIBA.   Leadership Skills, Research Collaboration, Climate Change and attracting talent into the industry were amongst the many topics that Jane covered.  I will watch to see how Jane nudges and nurtures the RIBA membership over the next couple of year. If you want to know more about her plans & vision for the future have a closer look at this article http://www.architectsjournal.co.uk/newsletter/news/duncan-i-have-every-intention-of-making-sure-ribas-council-is-effective/8688731.article
