Outgoing chair, Clive Shepherd, added: "My four years as chair have been highly rewarding. I have worked alongside some extremely capable people on the eLN board and I am delighted that one of those, Rob Hubbard, has been elected to move things forward in the coming year. These are exciting times for elearning and the eLN is certainly going to be needed to support the fast-growing body of elearning specialists and enthusiasts."
