AoU Coffee Break: Francis Newton
The January's edition of the online coffee break, with guest Francis Newton sharing insights from his time as the Lead Assessor for Great Places
If you’d like a break from work and meet some friendly faces, join us for an AoU Coffee Break!
These sessions are organised and hosted by a group of AoU Members based in Scotland, and are open to all. If you have never been to an AoU event before, or are thinking about joining the AoU, you are welcome to come along and join the discussion.
On Thursday 9 January, we'll be hearing from guest contributor Francis Newton.
Francis Newton is an Academician at the AoU, and has acted as the Lead Assessor for the Great Place category of the Urbanism Awards since 2016. In this time he has visited 30 candidates across the UK and Ireland, and in his words:
"All the assessment visits offer a unique back stage pass to the finalists, offering a wonderful opportunity to experience a wide range of exemplary places and meet the people that make them.
"The assessment process is always enriching and has given me some of the most rewarding professional development I’ve ever undertaken."
