OHTA has announced a number of appointments to its Board of Directors and its Advisory Committee. Each person brings a valuable set of skills, expertise and experience at a time when OHTA is engaging in many collaborative global initiatives.
OHTA’s Board of Directors (also Charity Trustees) manages the organisation and is responsible for strategic direction and policy. The Board appointments must be formally approved by OHTA’ s member associations at the Annual General Meeting on 23 September. The Advisory Committee, on the other hand, provides constructive challenge to the Board, as well as functioning in an important advisory and support role.
