We held our latest PFS Board meeting on Thursday 16 April. We began by noting the additions of Dr Alan Whittle FPFS and Adam Harper to the PFS Board and welcomed them to their first meeting. We also welcomed the appointment of a new Executive Director, Member Engagement, who we will introduce to members in coming weeks. They will play a pivotal role in strengthening the value, influence and day‑to‑day experience of PFS membership, building strong engagement and volunteer networks so all our members feel genuinely supported, connected and proud to belong to their professional body.
