Board of Trustees
Our Board is a diverse and experienced group of individuals from our community.
Jordan, our Chair, has been a valued member of the Board since 2020. Alongside him, we are fortunate to have professionals from a range of backgrounds, including a doctor, an HR specialist, and a business manager.
Each year, up to three community members are elected to join the Board for a one-year term during our Annual General Meeting (AGM), ensuring our community remains at the heart of every decision we make.
