RNID is delighted to welcome three new Trustees to the organisation’s Board. Read more about them below.
Our Board of Trustees is at the centre of how we operate as a charity – a group of dedicated volunteers who give their time and expertise to set the strategic direction for RNID. We’re really pleased to announce the appointment of three new members of our Board of Trustees: Amber Kirby, former Director of Marketing at Channel 4, Matt Stringer, CEO of RNIB and Tanya Curry, CEO of MNDA.
The Board’s role is a vital one to any charity navigating the complex world we operate in. Board members provide challenge and support to make sure that we are sticking to our purpose as a charity, setting our direction and our strategy. The experience, skill and motivation that Amber, Matt and Tanya bring with them will help strengthen our work and ensure we are delivering the biggest possible impact for the 18 million people we’re here to support.
A huge thank you to a valued Trustee
We also want to say a huge thank you to Julian Meekings, who has stepped down from the Board after completing a three year term. He has had a significant positive impact on RNID over that time, helping to guide the organisation and engaging in particular in RNID’s biomedical research work.
These changes to our Board come as we are seeing increased impact in our strategic work to find treatments to cure hearing loss and silence tinnitus, to challenge the discrimination faced by deaf people, and to change systems and society so that hearing health is valued and our communities are fully included.
Our new trustees were selected for the Board through a trustee-led interview process, and their appointment was approved by the RNID membership in a ballot in June.
