New Board of Deputies honorary officers allotted roles
President-elect Phil Rosenberg sets out responsibility areas for vice-presidents
Board of Deputies president-elect Phil Rosenberg has announced new roles for his team of honorary officers elected last week.
Incoming senior vice president Adrian Cohen will chair the Board’s International Division, while incoming vice-president Andrew Gilbert is to head the Defence and Group Relations Division. It is intended to re-name this department as the Security, Resilience and Cohesion Division, incorporating health and resilience work.
The Board’s Community and Education Division will be chaired by incoming vice-president Jeremy Michelson.
Another re-naming will take place for the Finance and Organisation Division, which will be called the Finance, Fundraising and Organisation Division and will be headed by the treasurer-elect, Ben Crowne.
The new honorary officers team will officially begin their roles at the start of the new triennium, which will begin on June 1.
