New Chair for England Regional Committee
Wednesday 12th August 2020Lee Bird has been appointed Chair of the England Regional Committee, with his term commencing on 1st September 2020.
On his appointment Lee said: “I’ve been a member of the Brigade since I was 5, having progressed through the ranks. I sat on the Battalion Executive for 6 years and have been on the England Regional Committee now for 3. I’ve represented the Brigade nationally through the Youth United Network and at the House of Commons as part of the All Party Parliamentary Group. Professionally I work with boards and Executives so will be able to bring this experience to the Committee. I have experience of training Chairs and Board members of national charities, and at a time when the Region’s remit is growing to accommodate the scrutiny of the new strategy, this will be a crucial set of skills to have. I am approachable and open to new and all ideas on how the Committee can grow, and I am still (technically) a “young person” so I think it sets a great example to the rest of the Regions, and to the Brigade that a young person can contribute at the highest levels of the Brigade.”
