The Board

After 8 years, Mr Chris Powell has stepped down from the position of President.  We sincerely thank Chris for his dedication and hard work over the years as President, and are delighted that he will remain on the Board as a Member.  We congratulate former Vice President, Mr Chris Hartley, on being elected as the new President of the Childhood Cancer Association and Mr Vaughn Eaton, who has been elected as Vice President. 

We also pay special tribute to Peter Marshman, who has recently retired, after 10 years of service to the Association as a Board member.  Prior to joining the Board, Peter set up a fathers group within Family Service which ran for a number of years.  Since his appointment, Peter has been an active and valuable member of the Board.  He has always taken carefully considered positions on the various issues being debated and was instrumental in the redrafting of our constitution.  We sincerely thank Peter for his contributions to the Association and wish him all the very best for the future.
