She is co-director and leads the BDA. She leads on the Go! Governance Officers network, runs training sessions and Webinars for Governance staff and Boards, and manages all other areas of the company.

Alice's initial area of Governance expertise is from the perspective of the Governance Officer and Manager and she has seen and heard most of the problems out there! Including those relating to:

· Board recruitment, training and appraisals,

· Resident Scrutiny,

· Governance staff recruitment, training, motivating and management,

· Meeting management, minutes, rules and standing order interpretation; and

· Company secretary responsibilities.

She has also gained broad experience during her time with the BDA working with Boards, Chair's, CEO's and Board members on a variety of Governance related projects.
As a Director she runs the BDA, delivers training, webinars, governance reviews, Board appraisals and governance staff training.

Along side the governance work she has worked in Business Continuity and Resilience in a large multi disciplinary housing provider.

She also has experience in performance data collation, policy, project research, legal services procurement and management and communications.

She is a mum to 10-year-old twins and runs Bristol's Sarcoidosis support group (a rare immune disorder that can affect the whole body).

She paints and draws and loves good food & wine and travel (don't we all!)
