We are pleased to announce that six new trustees have joined ACAVA’s Board, alongside existing trustees Alex Matthews, Alice Boff and Paul Augarde.
This marks an important moment for the organisation as we continue to grow our work with artists, communities and creative practice.
Together, the Board will support ACAVA’s ongoing commitment to inclusive, creative, and socially focused work.
“Recruiting the right trustees is one of the board’s most important responsibilities. This cohort is the result of a careful and considered process, and I am delighted that it has brought such a diverse range of skills and backgrounds to our governance.”
Paul Augarde, ACAVA Chair
“These six new trustees significantly strengthen ACAVA’s organisational resilience. Their combined expertise – spanning higher education, business, law, the cultural sector, and local government – brings precisely the depth and breadth of skill we need as we look to the future.”
Tom Holley, ACAVA CEO
