Member Spotlight
There are nearly 300 members who volunteer for the AHEP. They are our Trustees, they run our professional networks, they advocate on our behalf within their organisations, support their colleagues studying the AHEP PgCert and they deliver our learning and development opportunities.
Each month we put one member in the spotlight to say thank you for their contribution, find out more about the role they do and what they get out of it, and highlight the many ways which you can get involved too.
If you would like to put your name forward or suggest someone that we could feature then please get in touch with us via hello@ahep.ac.uk
