Appointment of new Trustees and Cultural Advisors.
A key objective of the Founding Trustees of the new CIO was to add new Trustees to increase diversity and add new skills. We were particularly keen to increase our emphasis on outreach work and to develop events for the family market. We are therefore very pleased to confirm that we have appointed four new Trustees which takes us to eight, our maximum under the Constitution.
The new Trustees are:
Dr Linda Harland
John Case
Jane Fitch
Elsbeth Rankin
Cultural Advisors:
Festivals face a challenging future in the light of a rapidly changing media world, the exploding availability of digital content and crowded calendars. To help us meet these trends we decided that we needed the additional skills of those committed to helping us but for whom it would not be practical to be a committee member. We are pleased to announce our first two:
Anthony McNeill
Greta Bisetto-Donelan
