The Institute of Agricultural Management (IAgrM) to be Reformed in Norfolk
The county branch of the Institute of Agricultural Management (IAgrM) will be reformed with an open meeting at Easton College, outside Norwich, on October 31.
Background
Chairman William Haire had the idea of starting a new branch earlier this year, only to discover that one had previously existed but was wound up many years ago.
“I have been a member since 2009, but everything you want to do with the institute is miles away,” he said. “I thought there had to be something for people in Norfolk.
“I came up with the bright idea of launching a branch in Norfolk a few months back. I spoke to the institute and then we discovered there had been a branch here in the past – we think it was about 20 years ago.”
Meeting Details
Mr Haire, who is head of estate at Easton College, will speak at the institute’s first Norfolk branch meeting for two decades, sharing his insights on the “ups and downs” of managing a complex farm estate within a land-based educational institution.
There will also be an introduction to the IAgrM by vice chairman Richard Price, followed by a Q&A session.
Sustainable Development Goals
The reformation of the IAgrM branch in Norfolk aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:
- Goal 2: Zero Hunger – promoting sustainable agriculture and ensuring food security
- Goal 4: Quality Education – providing educational opportunities for farmers and professionals in the agricultural sector
- Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth – supporting the professional development and growth of individuals in the agricultural industry
- Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals – fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among agricultural professionals
“The institute is about raising professional standards in new managers. It is about continuing professional development, continuing to develop new knowledge, meeting people, learning new things, and being proactive,” said Mr Haire.
“And we are not just thinking about managers of big estates. It is all levels of farms, professional services, and young people and students too.”
Meeting Information
The meeting will take place at Easton College’s sports centre on October 31 at 7pm. Attendance is free, but there is a £10 charge for those who want to join the “pie and mash” meal at 6pm. Registration is required by contacting william.haire@ccn.ac.uk.
