\"\"<\/a>SI Thames Valley are delighted that our member Johanna Raffan has taken office as SIGBI Federation President 2020\/2021.<\/p>\n

In these peculiar times she was not at the planned\u00a0 conference in Belfast, but in her own at home, as \u00a0\u00a0 all the presenta<\/p>\n

tions were broadcast via virtual conferencing.<\/p>\n

So the members of SITV sent her two beautiful table arrangements of flowers and a large bouquet, in subtle colours.\u00a0\u00a0 These were delivered in the morning of the first day of conference.<\/p>\n

Congratulations Johanna and enjoy your year, even though you will not be travelling the world as much as you thought you would.<\/p>\n
