Last month, we held our Annual General Meeting. It was a chance to come together and celebrate another wonderful year of Bolton CVS supporting Bolton’s Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise sector to do what they do best, and to let our members have a say in the way we do things here at Bolton CVS.
At our Annual General Meeting, members of Bolton CVS agreed to co-opt Dr. (h.c.) Leigh Vallance to the Board of Trustees, and as part of our Trustee Week celebrations, we wanted to do a formal introduction!
Dr. (h.c.) Leigh Vallance – Chief Executive of Bolton Hospice
Dr. (h.c) Leigh Vallance has over 40 years’ experience in the Charity Sector from volunteer and carer to project worker, manager, leader and over 28 years as the CEO of a range of small, medium and large organisations operating at a local, regional and national level.
This work has covered issues of homelessness; citizen advocacy; coalfield & rural community development; learning disabilities; autism, mental health; looked after children; rare health conditions; domestic violence; palliative and end of life care.
Our new trustee is a inspirational leader who is dynamic, committed, enterprising, quick-thinking achiever, commercially minded and values driven, and always driving organisational improvements.
She has a natural, comfortable leadership style, which is inclusive and empowering, enabling people & organisations to succeed within complex organisations and multi-disciplinary teams.
