Testimonials:

Below are a selection of testimonials I have received from people I have worked with on boards, panels, in education and on campaigns over the years and people who know my form;-

I believe that as President, Angela will be a revelation: Purposeful, energetic, communicative and happy and comfortable on a "big stage", she champions small (but good) practices and has good experience in public affairs - in short, she is a natural for the job. She could well turn out to be one of the best presidents of our time
Sir Terry Farrell

I had the pleasure of working with Angela when I was at the GLA and I believe that she has the skills to make an excellent President
Lord Richard Rogers, Chairman rsh-p

I don't know another architect with such unabashed enthusiasm for our profession and its capabilities. She has that elusive quality of presence and confidence in public and one to one. And boy does she know how to party! Angela would be a terrific President
Piers Gough CZWG

From its inception in 2000, Angela was a dynamic member of the English Heritage / CABE Urban Panel which I then chaired. Formed to take an innovatory approach to large historic city centre regeneration schemes and committed to progressing the resolution of complex and sensitive issues in forum with inevitably differently concerned and motivated parties, Angela unfailingly deployed her personal skills set and professionalism to great effect. In a way a microcosm of across the board involvement, she amply demonstrated her objectivity, natural diplomacy and her facility for bridge building. Never departing from her professional integrity, her approach was always open minded yet positive in direction, working in concert with colleagues in the profession as well as other disciplines.
A lifetime’s close working engagement with the profession principally through commercial development, but with parallel voluntary roles in the social housing, education and museum worlds, let me say with confidence that Angela Brady, professional, energetic, organised and aspirational would be a vigourous and achieving President admirably suited to our times

Angela Brady has my full support to become President of RIBA. If elected, I predict she will be an outstanding ambassador for the architecture profession: an energetic leader; a brilliant communicator; a principled and committed President who will promote inclusivity and diversity, good design, high standards of practice, and strong links with all other construction professionals. I regard Angela as one of the rare people who sees service as an end in itself, and is prepared to expend vast energy on behalf of others for the sake of her belief in the profession of architecture. I have been impressed by Angela’s work over many years in the field of diversity, where she has stood out for her ability to organise and achieve action, to energise and inspire groups of professionals internationally, whilst promoting the architecture profession itself

Angela Brady is a fighter, a doer and a motivator, with the capacity to inspire all who meet her. She is a fine architect, committed, in particular, to improving the lot of society's least advantaged. I have also witnessed, close up, her outstanding communication skills, both in person and as a broadcaster, who can connect with the man and woman in the street. Isn't that what the RIBA needs now in its President?
Shane O Toole RIBA RIAI

Angela, I consider it an inspired thought on someone's part that you should be put forward for nomination as RIBA president and I would like to offer my complete support. From my time as RTPI President in the early 90’s, I know that you have to  have tremendous commitment, great energy and be highly communicative. These are qualities that I have seen from my association with you, particularly as part of the Civic Trust Awards National Panel, you display in abundance. Above all however,any Institution, but perhaps the RIBA more than some, needs a President that the whole membership will  regard with respect. I cannot think of anyone who could better command that respect because you have that magic mix of professional skill, demonstrated communication  skills and great personal style. I speak of course only as an Hon RIBA member but I am very proud of that and my close links with the profession over many years have been such that I know your Presidency would be memorable

As a former tutor I have known Angela Brady from her extremely active student days and again as a colleague during her success as a practitioner. As a student Angela was one of the campaigning spirits in a movement to save Georgian and Medieval Dublin. She has never lost that spirit in her professional work. Along with her obvious design skills she brings professionalism, energy and resourcefulness to the table. A first class communicator Angela Brady would be a brilliant and able president Des Mc Mahon, Gilroy McMahon Architects

Delighted to hear that you are standing for President Angela - you will be a wonderful role model both for your profession and women in architecture. It has been a delight to work with you on the Women @ Work project and impressive to see how your enthusiasm and natural gift for communication and professionalism has enabled and facilitated new international relationships and networks to be built across cultures and continents. We could not have delivered the project without your support and commitment.
