It was a remarkable feat to produce the book within a month of the new coalition government being formed, and will, surely, prove an historic text. 1 The new One Wales government claimed to represent the progressive consensus, but lest differing views should get lost in the search for consensus we decided to test the 'progressive consensus' concept by asking four distinguished commentators to assess the One Wales policy document. We were pleased that Professor John Kay, Will Hutton, Professor David Marquand 1 and Peter Stead were so ready to undertake the task. The four seminars that they led will bear fruit in a book to be published by the IW A in the autumn of2008. The seminars were arranged in collaboration with Cardiff University, and we were delighted that during the year we concluded a Memorandum of Understanding with the university that we hope will lead to even closer collaboration on research and events when the university's Wales Governance Centre is re-launched in parallel. 1 This was the second collaboration with higher education effected during the year. We also launched, with UWIC. Academy Health Wales as a forum for cross-disciplina ry discussion and projects in the health and social serv ice sectors. This initiative arose from the recommendations of the health study group in the IWA's pre-election policy review. We are very grateful to John Wyn Owen, Chair of the Governors ofUWIC and also chair of the health study group, for helping to bring this to fruition I so quickly. One ofthe most significant developments for the IWA during the year was the decision of the Waterloo Foundation to make a 1 very generous grant to us for the next three years. This will enable us to proceed with the appointment of a Deputy Director to professionalise the marketing of the Institute's work and to develop our website to put it at the very centre of our activities. We are deeply grateful to the Waterloo Foundation for this commitment, as we are to the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation for a further three-year grant, and to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust for their continued support. 1 The year also saw a significant change in Board membership. Four long standing members stood down during the year - Lyn Arnold, James Driscoll, Keith James and Dr. Gareth Jones. We are very grateful to all of them for their support, but I must make particular mention of Keith James and Dr. Gareth Jones. Keith was one of the founders of the IWA and has served on its I board since the very beginning, for many years as our Vice Chairman. Gareth joined us in the 1990s, having guided our ambitious Wales 2010 project to a successful conclusion. He also chaired the Research Panel for many years. We will greatly miss their contribution. 1 I am delighted that we have attracted five very experienced new members to the Board. Sue Essex held two Cabinet positions - Environment and Finance and Local Government - in the Assembly Government 1 before standing down prior to the May 2007 elections. She is also a past leader of Cardiff City Council. As Minister for the Environment it was Sue Essex who took up the recommendation of an IWA report that Wales should establish its own Design Commission. Rob Humphreys is Director of the Open University in Wales, a post he took up in May 2007 having been Director for \A/'ales of the National Institute of Adult Education and Learning. His also a member of the Ministerial Advisory Group for Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills. I Chris O'Malley is Pro Vice Chancellor for Regional and International Development at Newport University. Chris spent 11 years as Director of Strategic Planning and Development at Dublin City University, having previously been a Member of the European Parliament for Dublin, and at the time the youngest member ofthe Parliament. 1 Wendy Sadler is Director of Science Made Simple Ltd, a company formed in 2004 to help translate the complexities of science to engage a wider public. In the same year she was voted 'Welsh Woman of the Year' and given the Women into Science, Engineering and Construction (WISE) excellence award for helping to promote science to girls. In 2005 the Institute of I Physics named her 'Young Professional Physicist of the Year' and in 2007 she was named as a Laureate in the ELI Descartes Prize for Science Communication. 1 Page 1 I 1 1 INSTITUTE OF WELSH AFFAIRS I CHAIRMAN'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 1 Rhys David was appointed to the Board, having stood down from a post he had held with the IWA since 2002. Rhys is an experienced journalist, having started his career at the Western Mail before moving to the Financial Times where he held a 1 senior position. He is also the author of several IWA reports. All five will contribute greatly to the development ofthe IWA in the years ahead. Lastly, I must, as ever, extend the warmest thanks to all our staff - our Chief Executive, John Osmond, our Research Officer, 1 Nick Morris, and our administrative staff, Clare Johnson and Dr Helen Sims-Coomber. As usual, this small team has delivered a very intensive programme ofwork with great success.

    25 25 Vision Welsh horizons across 50 years Edited by John Osmond and Peter Finch Photography: John Briggs 25 25 Vision Welsh horizons across 50 years Edited by John Osmond and Peter Finch Photography: John Briggs The Institute of Welsh Affairs exists to promote quality research and informed debate affecting the cultural, social, political and economic well being of Wales. The IWA is an independent organisation owing no allegiance to any political or economic interest group. Our only interest is in seeing Wales flourish as a country in which to work and live. We are funded by a range of organisations and individuals, including the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, and the Waterloo Foundation.

The H’mm Foundation is named after H’m, a volume of poetry by R.S. Thomas, and because the musing sound ‘H’mm’ is an internationally familiar ‘expression’, crossing all linguistic frontiers. This literary venture has already secured the support of well-known poets and writers, including Gillian Clarke, National Poet for Wales, Jon Gower, Menna Elfyn, Nigel Jenkins, Peter Finch and Gwyneth Lewis.
