Hague, who succeeds Philip Atkins, founder and managing director of staffing agency Off To Work, as ISES UK president for 2013/14, said it has been a significant year for the association's UK chapter.
"We have attracted a wealth of new members, delivered high quality educational content on a monthly basis through ISES Talks, introduced a number of high-profile industry initiatives and maintained credible growth through our regional events," she said.
"We have a huge ambition for the continued development of the association, both locally and internationally and with strong boards across the globe, I'm confident of a very successful year ahead."
The new ISES board for 2013/14 will be introduced at the association’s annual general meeting next Tuesday (16 July) at Dutch Hall.
Atkins said: "It is a year that I will look back on with pride and a huge amount of gratitude to the board, Toni [Griggs] and all our UK chapter members who have made the exceptional progress and defined direction we have achieved possible.
"ISES has defined itself as the principal association for creative professionals within the events industry, and our focus on the celebration of British creative talent and social enterprise has been really great. I am exceptionally proud that Jane will be taking the mantle on next year and know that the association will go from strength to strength as a support and voice for the creative events industry."
