The 56th Annual General Meeting of the Arboricultural Association was held via Zoom on Wednesday 31st August, with several changes taking place.
The Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that Michelle Ryan, Alan Simson and Keith Sacre were re-elected. This year we welcome three new Trustees; Neil Davies (Consultancy Manager at TR33 LIMITED), Stella Bolam (Community Forestry Project Officer at Sheffield City Council) and Rob Murison (Principal Consultant Mercer Tree Services) all of whom will bring new skillsets and fresh perspectives to the board. They join our existing elected Trustees Alastair Durkin, Paul Barton and Steve Westmore and our three co-opted Trustees; Andrew Longland (Treasurer), Liz Nicholls and Sarah Armstrong. Andrew, Liz and Sarah were formally co-opted during the Board meeting which took place after the AGM, which also saw Michelle Ryan re-elected as Chair of the Association and Paul Barton elected as Vice Chair.
Thank you to all members who took the time to stand for nomination and also those that took part in the Trustee election process. We would also like to thank our outgoing Trustees, Mike Sankus and Navin Sehmi, who have contributed so much of their time and effort into helping deliver the Association’s aims and vision.
