Ms Jude Ferguson, who has served as a Non Executive Director of Weston Area Health NHS Trust since 2005 is retiring from the Board at the end of July. Ms Ferguson has served two consecutive terms with the Trust (she was re-appointed in 2008) and her tenure was extended in 2012 but she now wishes to focus her time on her other local interests, including the continuing development of Weston College, where she is Chair of the Governing Body.
Chris Creswick, Chair of the Trust, said "Jude has made a very valuable contribution over many years and her commitment to the work of the Trust has been outstanding. We have greatly appreciated her knowledge of North Somerset and her strong links to the local community have been invaluable in the Trust's development. We thank her for her work and wish Jude well for the future."
An announcement regarding Jude's replacement will be made in due course.
