For several Presidents, their period of office coincided with the Action Plan for Geography.This ran from 2006-11
Several of the GA Presidents mentioned this in their Presidential lecture.
Keith Grimwade told me: "The big curriculum initiative during my Presidency was the Action Plan for Geography.
Lord Adonis was a great supporter of geographical education but could not understand why we had the RGS/IBG and the GA - politicians prefer dealing with just one organisation. Negotiating and securing the GA’s distinctive role was, I think, one of my biggest achievements, much of which went on behind closed doors and could not be broadcast.
I keep a letter from Lord Adonis acknowledging my work, and recognising the GA’s contribution."
