Name: Claire Wallace
Role: Student Trustee
What this role involves:
The Board of Trustees are responsible for the running of the Association's affairs and ensuring the Association is compliant with the financial and legal obligations it has as an organisation.
What you've studied/are studying at the OU:
I started with the OU on a professional skills programme for Travel Planning and I am currently studying toward a Certificate of higher education (open)
Why you decided to volunteer and any previous volunteering with the Association:
I have been a volunteer with the Association for 7 years and had various roles as a CCR from SRG, BoS, Student Experience and Appointments Committee. I feel I have gained great experience as a CCR which will help me in my trustee role.
Summary of what you want to do in your role:
I want to continue the hard work the previous board have done to date and bring my skills and knowledge from other roles to the student trustee role for 2018 - 2020. Having worked with several of the board already I look forward to continuing to work with them.
Any other interests you'd like to share:
I am a massive football fan and if I'm not at the football or watching it on TV, you will probably find me somewhere reading a book!
