Hi all,
Just to let you know, I will be the new face of Pro Bono OR,
taking over from Felicity McLeister. I’m aware that I have some big shoes to
fill, following in the footsteps of Fliss, but as she moves onto another role
within the organisation I will do my best to sustain the progress that Pro Bono
continues to make.
I am joining the team with a new head to OR. My experience
includes events and project management within the third sector, here in the UK
and internationally. Following the completion of my Masters in International
Relations Global Security and Development, I moved to Australia to work for a
charity which concentrated on building sustainable communities in Uganda. Upon
my return to the UK I worked for a national charity for 2 years, setting up and
delivering a government youth programme. I can see that OR can be used in any
sector, but OR is both a want and a need within the third sector to those with
charitable aims. I am looking forward to seeing Pro Bono OR help make
improvements which are both transparent and sustainable.
