Board of Trustees Members of the Board of Trustees are listed below. Full details of membership of committees are available from the Governance Unit at RNIB’s Judd Street address. A proportion of Trustees are elected by the Board, on the recommendation of the Nominations Committee. A proportion is also elected by the Assembly. Over three-quarters of the Board are blind or partially sighted. Lord Low of Dalston CBE (Chairman) Kevin Carey (Vice-Chair and Chair Elect) Terry Moody (Honorary Treasurer) Carol Borowski Dr Gillian Burrington OBE Lisa Charlton Derek Child James Cook JP Michael Crowther Gareth Davies Cindy Godfrey-McKay Richard Godfrey-McKay Vidar Hjardeng Arif Khan CBE JP Anna Lawson John McNamee Brendan Magill Dr Amir Ali Majid Bill Poole John Ramm Terry Robinson Robert Silbermann John Spence (from 1 April 2009) Alan Suttie Mike Townsend Louise Wright (from 1 April 2009) A regular skills audit of Trustees is carried out with a view to helping to plan training. This year, we have concentrated on voice and personal presence training to enable our Trustees to participate in Board meetings as effectively as possible. Other ad hoc training activities take place depending on the needs of individuals. New Trustees receive an induction pack containing everything they need to know about the charity and its work for effective and informed decision-making, and trustee induction days are also held annually for new trustees. 8 RNIB annual report and accounts 2008/09
