We are pleased to be able to announce the results of the 2017 committee elections.
Our new co-chairs will be Oliver Craven & Natalie Bird, April Preston and Patrick Streeter remain as director and treasurer respectively, Evan Mortimer replaces Jennie Rigg as access & diversity officer, and the new non-portfolio officers are Tristan Gray and Luke Graham, who join Fran Oborski and Joe Toovey who continue in post. Thanks to all who stood and voted in the election. Thanks also to James Baillie who is standing down as chair, Jennie Rigg who has been our access & diversity officer since spring, and Martin Walker and George Potter who will step down as non-portfolio officers - a mention should go to thank George in particular, as one of the founding members of the Association and someone without whose energy and activism the RA would likely not be here today.
