By Tom Walker
Those added to the councils include Everyone Active's associate director Ben Beevers
ukactive has appointed six additional sector professional to its Membership Council and Supplier Council.
The additions are part of ukactive's efforts to offer a fresh injection of expertise and ideas from its membership.
The Membership Council – the formal voice of the membership base in ukactive’s governance – welcomes four new members: Ben Beevers (Everyone Active), Julie Russell (CLOA board member), Chris Sharman (iKidz Consultancy) and Jamie Bunce (Inspired Villages).
Those expected to contribute in particular areas of interest include Beevers, who has been tasked with identifying issues of reputational risk within the sector. Meanwhile, Julie Russell has been elected as member for local authorities, bringing with her a close connection to local government.
Those joining the Supplier Council – the mouthpiece for sector suppliers – are Abigail Harris (BigFish PR) and Ian Cotgrave (Createability).
Both Councils feed into ukactive board meetings through Membership Council chair Phil Rumbelow.
