A Message from CIWEM Chair of Trustees Annie Shepperd



As the Chair of CIWEM, I would like to advise you that following Anna Daroy’s appointment as the Chief Executive of CIWEM on 08 April 2024, her contract ceased on 26 August 2025, as instructed by Trustees.

I am unable to disclose any further details surrounding these circumstances, but I can assure you that Trustees are working with the Executive and our talented staff to continue to build on our foundations for the future, which puts our members at the heart of everything we do.

In the meantime, we will continue to provide our members at every stage of their career with the latest knowledge and skills, ensuring the very best solutions and outcomes for people and planet.

Please feel free to contact our Marketing and Communications Director Emma Simon at emma.simon@ciwem.org if there is any other information that you require.


Yours sincerely,

Annie Shepperd OBE
Chair of Trustees
