The board has responsibility for Tŷ Hafan's overall strategy and future direction.
The board is headed by chairman, Martin Davies, and includes trustees, Richard Adams, Sue Carter, Dr Keith Holgate, Gareth Morgan, Dr Huw Jenkins, James Pepper, Elizabeth Thomas and Sian Thomas. Supporting the board are executive directors, Maria Timon Samra, chief executive, Deborah Ho, director of care and Jason Foster, director of finance and corporate services. Together they have a wide range of strategic experience in health care, clinical and corporate governance, communications, finance, fundraising and commercial activity.
From time to time committees of the board are also supported by co-opted members, who bring external perspective and expertise, giving added assurance to the board through their scrutiny and insight. This role also provides an opportunity for development as trustees.
We welcome two trustee designates to the board. Their appointments will be announced later in the year.
