   After 17 years service, the Chief Executive of the ISTD, Michael Browne, retires on the 2nd June 2006.
   
   Michael joined the ISTD in 1989 after serving as Bursar of Bush Davies School and having had a distinguished career in sales promotion and financial services. He joined the ISTD at a time when the organisation was in need of overhauling, both from a financial and administrative point of view.
   ...
   For example, the move to superior offices and studios at Imperial House and, of course, the wonderful new dance studios at ISTD2 would not have been possible were it not for the prudent management of Michael Browne.
   
   The last 7 years, as we are all aware, have seen the Society undergo dramatic change as it has dealt with the impact that seeking and gaining government accreditation for its qualifications has had. It is a testament to Michael and his management skills that, not only does he leave the organisation in far healthier shape than when he joined the Society, but right up until his retirement he has continued to push the case of its teachers gaining recognition from the UK government.
   
   The Chairman of the Society, Robert Grover, chose the ISTD Annual Dinner Dance to publicly pay tribute to Michael in his after dinner speech to guests.
   ...
   Thank you Michael."
   
   Michael can be seen above with his management team at the Dinner Dance on the 12th March. From left to right: Claire Buckley (Head of International Examinations), Jon Singleton (Head of Marketing & Publicity), Catherine Browne (Head of UK Examinations), Michael Browne (Chief Executive), Jenny French (Financial Controller), Sarah Combes (Head of Education & Training) and Cynthia Pease (Head of Customer Services & Quality Assurance)
   ...
   On reflecting on his forthcoming retirement Michael said:
   ...
   Jon became the Chief Executive Designate at the beginning of March so that a smooth handing over period with Michael would be possible.
   ...
   On behalf of all our teachers we would like to thank Michael for all that he has done and wish him a happy retirement.

   As Michael Browne, Chief Executive of the ISTD, made clear in the last edition of DANCE, the ISTD is fully committed to the process of QCA accreditation, as the benefits it brings to our teachers and their candidates are clear to all involved.
