Selwood Housing marks the start of the new year with some changes to its board of directors.
We sadly say goodbye to our Chair of the board Sheila Lewis, who has served the full length of her term. Sheila has led the board for the last six years and has brought great experience and tenacity to the role, with over 40 years spent working within the housing sector.
As we say goodbye to Sheila, we warmly welcome Marie Li Mow Ching as our new Chair. Marie has been a member of the board for the last two years, also acting as Committee Chair for our group asset and development committee. Marie has held a variety of non-executive roles within the housing sector, including chair positions, as well as a career working across several government departments.
CEO, Barry Hughes comments:
“Sheila has provided fantastic leadership to Selwood Housing and its board in her time as Chair. Under her leadership Selwood Housing has continued to grow and provide excellent services to its customers. We have recently reported excellent tenant satisfaction measures and have maintained the top rating for governance from the Regulator of Social Housing. We wish Sheila well; she can be very proud of the difference she has made to Selwood Housing.’
In Sheila’s place, I look forward to working more closely with Marie Li Mow Ching. She brings wide-ranging experience to the role and, I’m sure, will continue on the good work that Sheila has contributed to.”
In addition to changes to its Chair position, Selwood Housing has also appointed the following new directors to its board:
• David Hobdey, who will also take on the role of Chair for the group asset and development committee
• Sam Whatley
• Maureen Robinson
