Diversity and Equality in Public Appointments

While we all recognise that truly representative public services must reflect the make-up of modern society and incorporate the skills, experience and commitment of people from all walks of life, many of the people who could make an

important contribution simply don’t know how to get involved, or, if they do

know how, they think ‘it’s not for me’. That’s why, in June 2009, the

I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and demand it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on(abiolabawuah7@gmail.com) for the full details.

Have a nice day.
Mrs.Abiola

Great, let's go for 20th. Can you do 11am - either at Royal Festival Hall or British Library?

Busy as you are, I wonder if you could spare some time for a coffee in the next couple of weeks. I am puling together a new game / event / learning tool called Mock Cabinets (a little along the line of the model UN General Assemblies, but smaller and more radical) and would love your input. Let me know what's possible.
