CAPSIG AGM

The CAPSIG AGM will be held on Thursday 26 March 2015 at the CIPR headquarters, 52-53 Russell Square, London WC1B 4HP. Registration will open at 6pm with the AGM starting at around 6.15pm.

Immediately after formal business is concluded, CAPSIG will be hosting a panel discussion on Diversity in Construction and PR – diversity being a key challenge for both sectors.

In construction, women make up just 12% of the workforce, 10% are aged between 19 and 24, and about 5% are from a non-white background. Around 400,000 will retire in the next decade and the industry already faces severe skills shortages.

In PR, the 2015 CIPR State of the Profession report highlighted that men in public relations are on average paid £8,483 more than women, as a result of their gender alone.

Discussing these and related issues will be a panel including:

Liz Male MBE FCIPR (former CAPSIG chair, now chair of Trustmark UK and a member of the government’s Construction Leadership Council)
Elaine Knutt (editor, Construction Manager)
Prof Tony Ford (vice-chair of the Construction Industry Council's diversity panel)
