She said: “I am delighted to be appointed to the CHC board to represent North Wales Housing at a national level. This is an exciting opportunity to help influence housing strategy at a time when the sector is experiencing significant change.
“I look forward to contributing to CHC’s collective vision to make Wales a country where good quality housing is a basic right for everyone.”
