Coming from a cultural and heritage led regeneration area, I wanted to give back to the sector and supporting development and resilience. I am most looking forward to being able to contribute to the strategic direction of the organisation as it develops over the next few years, and learning from fellow board members, the team, and the ever growing membership.” – Julie
