Default RSPB President.

I see that Kate Humble has been appointed as the new RSPB President,do you think she is the woman for the job?
Has anyone any opinions on the recent appointment?


The RSPB: Kate Humble is elected

I like Kate. I am sure she will be a great ambassador for the RSPB! A 'Celebrity' choice for president is probably a wise decision to get the message across to the young and not so young! At the end of the day as long as more awareness on conservation is spread/broadcast to the nation/world, I really wouldn't care who is elected the president!

Well this is the age of the celebrity so why not!

Alternatively, why not put her into the Chief Executive role after a days training, film how she gets on and make a Docu/Drama out of it. Then call it something like Celebrity Boardroom Nightmares!

Seriously though, I'm sure her high-profile is what they are after as is usual.

Anyone know how much she's getting paid?

Love to divide that by the Membership fee!

I like Kate too and agree in that her celebrity profile will be good publicity for the job and I'm sure she'll be a great representative for the society too!
It'll be interesting to see if the number of younger members increases while she is at the helm!

I'm not too keen on her as a presenter but she is certainly a people person and a popular one at that. I think she will fill the post very well and help increase the profile and appeal of the RSPB to a wider audience

cheers, John
