Executive Council
AEF’s work programme is overseen by an Executive Council that meets every two months and is made up of members elected annually at our AGM. Our council members come from a range of backgrounds – including business, finance, education and the civil service – and play an active part in our day-to-day activities. Council members serve in an advisory capacity and help to ensure that the voice of the membership is taken into account in AEF positions. Many are also active on behalf of other organisations whose views may not necessarily reflect AEF policy.
Currently serving members are:
- Debbie Bryce
- Nic Ferriday
- Geoff Marks
- Mark Middleton-Smith
- Richard Roads
- Hugh Sheppard
- Tim Thomas
- Rachael Webb (Chair)
Volunteers
Our work is supported by a number of dedicated, long-term volunteers. In addition, we have occasionally offered placements for short-term student internships, and we have consistently received good feedback from interns about their time with us.
