ACHWS is looking to achieve the ambitions set out in our strategic plan, but in order to do that we needed someone to work with the Board of Trustees to develop scope and strengthen the impact of the network. We sourced funding and outlined a brief for a Development Coordinator and are delighted to announce the appointment of Nancy Riach who joined the team in June. You can contact her on nancy@achws.org

Nancy will be the day-to-day contact for ACHWS and will be supporting the board to activate the ambition strategic plan including arranging an online and in person events programme, build the network, sharing information, research, best practice and case studies through our social media and our e-bulletin as well as creating opportunities for discussion and collaboration and collating feedback to inform and advise government.

Nancy joins us with spent over 30 years working in and around the arts and culture sector and has a diverse range of knowledge and experience. She has held various senior roles specifically focused on communications, stakeholder management, business planning, event management and development. Nancy has a broad range of experience from grassroots community projects to two of Scotland’s National Performing Companies and The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

You can contact Nancy to say hello, let her know about projects you are working on, ways we can support you, events or topics you are interested in or anything else you want to talk to us about.
