New Chief Executive appointed
Tuesday, 31 March 2009
COMPAID Trust has appointed Stephen Elsden as Chief Executive, following the retirement of Betty Howell after 14 years in the post.
Stephen joins from Leonard Cheshire Disability, and has 20 years experience in the charity sector, with particular emphasis on marketing, fundraising and service development.
"I am delighted to be joining the charity," says Stephen. "COMPAID Trust has achieved a huge amount for disabled people, under the leadership of Betty and her team. I am confident we can now build on that success to develop our services and support even more people in the future."
Among Stephen's first tasks will be the development of a new strategy for the charity, which he hopes to launch in the autumn of this year.
