ABERDEEN-based autism support charity, Autism & Neurodiversity North Scotland (A-ND), has announced the appointment of a new Chairperson and three new members to its Board of Directors as part of a drive to reinvigorate the charity and enhance the board\u2019s existing team.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strengthening its internal team, the charity welcomes Global E&C CEO, Terry Allan, as Chairperson succeeding existing Chairperson, Margaret Hodder, who steps down whilst remaining on the board. The charity also welcomes new board members, Vysus Group CFO, Geoff Morrison, ThinkPR CEO, Annabel Sall, and Senior Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen, Shannon Babbie. As key supporters of the charity, Terry and the three new board members have already played a pivotal part in allowing A-ND to make a difference in the lives of neurodivergent individuals in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray, and the North of Scotland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hugely influential in helping the charity hit its targets of reaching more families in need of vital support, the new appointments will also help enhance A-ND’s profile across the North east of Scotland, allowing it to identify new opportunities and provide additional support to its recruitment drive and upcoming campaigns, all of which are set to contribute to the growth of the charity. The new board members will join an existing team of six other board members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently supporting 150 individuals and families, A-ND is targeting to help 500 individuals and families throughout the north of Scotland by 2027. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Already involved with the charity, ThinkPR is collaborating with A-ND as event partner for its inaugural Think Different Golf Day and Dinner on Thursday 25th of May at Meldrum House, whilst Global E&C is supporting the event as a Platinum Sponsor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Previously supporting A-ND on the refurbishment of its Aberdeen facility, Terry Allan joined the board in April 2022 having seen the vital difference the charity makes to those who use its services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
