BOARD MEMBERS
AWC Counselling is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation which means it operates as both a charity and as a company. The Board members are therefore both Trustees and Directors at the same time. As AWC Counselling developed out of a merger, it has a developing Board.
There are currently 4 Board members.
The Chairperson is Charles Dobson, formerly the Chairperson of Versa Org Ltd from which the CIO grew.
The Company Secretary is not a Board member. Laura Brown, Service Manager, carries out this role in support of the Board as part of her employment duties.
The Board has 3 members – Jenny Hall, Janet Pickles and Karen Bleasby who is the Interim Treasurer and recruitment is underway for additional Board members.
