Taking over the role from Gale Bryan, Bursar of Homerton College, who is retiring on 11th June, Jennifer studied at Oxford University and Cranfield School of Management before becoming a Fellow and Bursar of Churchill College in 1998. She has also been a Board Director at the Møller Centre since 1998 and more recently, was appointed a Trustee for the Arthur Rank Hospice in Cambridge.
Commenting on her appointment, Jennifer said: “It is a great pleasure to take over the chairmanship of this successful organisation from Gale Bryan. The Conference and Meetings business in the Cambridge Colleges has grown steadily in my time in Cambridge and brings business to the city as well as the Colleges. For the Colleges it provides essential funding to enable them to fulfil their educational mission and maintain their wonderful historic buildings”.
Conference Cambridge is the official free venue-finding service for Cambridge University and the Colleges. Recently it announced a series of successful bids to hold events in Cambridge over the next few years, which are collectively worth £1.2 million, a further £5 million to the local economy and will bring over 2800 delegates the City.
Conference Cambridge was established in 1998 and represents 36 venues including 28 Cambridge colleges, as well as University sites, Faculty buildings, Cambridge University Press and the Møller Centre. A total of 550 function rooms and 6500 bedrooms are available.
