Press statement on behalf of Learning Light
In response to press queries, Learning Light (LL), a non-profit
organisation seeking to establish itself as a centre of excellence in
the use of learning technologies in the workplace, has issued the
following statement:
Learning Light Limited held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 22nd
February 2007. In accordance with the company’s constitution all
directors duly resigned. The next agenda item was the election of the
Chair of the Board. Of course, this should have been dealt with after
the election of the new Board. None of the directors had spotted this
error in the agenda listing and it wasn’t until the process of electing
the Chair happened that it became apparent that there had been a
technical error.
As a consequence, the Board decided to declare the AGM null and void
and reconvene another AGM to give the then current board, who had all
resigned, another opportunity to stand for election and also re-elect
the Chair.
A number of the board members (including Donald Clark) who had resigned
during the initial AGM decided not to stand for re-election at the
’second’ AGM. At the second AGM the members of Learning Light elected
the current Board members.
Two new directors appointed were David Kay, of learning and skills
sector specialists Sero Consulting, and Nigel Tomlinson, who has been
Chief Executive Officer of Sheffield Chamber of Commerce & Industry
Group since 1997. Mr Tomlinson was also appointed Chair of Learning
Light, in succession to Ms Lorna Cocking.
In terms of its commercial operations, Learning Light is continuing to
move forward and is experiencing growth in providing a range of
business support services.
In addition, Learning Light is continuing to enrol members. At present,
more than 500 people have access to the members-only portal which
offers access to a wealth of information in the form of easy-to-use
Quick Guides, Knowledge Nuggets, case studies and articles on topics
related to e-learning and human capital management. This
information-rich repository includes access to a wide network of peers
as well as the latest insights from leading e-learning gurus.
In addition, some 5,850 people are subscribing to LL’s regular
newsletter.
