Sterling Service.

Paul Lynham stepped down as President of The Institution of Analysts and Programmers and as a Trustee, at its Trustee Board meeting on Saturday 15th February 2025, after serving for several years in that role, and before that as Vice-President.

Paul had indicated to the Trustee Board last year that he would not seek re-election as President when his 2024/25 term finished. He has been a stalwart of the Institution for most of his extensive career in software development and has worked tirelessly in supporting its work in improving software for society.

“I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Paul for his sterling service to the Institution over such a long period. I am sure the Fellows and Members of the Institution will join me with their thanks too.” Alastair Revell, IAP Director General

Succession

Congratulate go to Graham Fenton, who the Trustees elected as the IAP’s new President, and Edwin Keen, who has been elected the new Vice-President. Their terms of office commenced at the end of the meeting.
