As former Movement for Change chief Blair Mc Dougall leaves the organisation to head up the pro-UK campaign in Scotland, the community organising group have announced the name of their new Chief Executive – Kathryn Perera. Until recently Perera was Head of Innovation to M4C. Following her appointment Kathryn said:
“This is an exciting time for Movement for Change as we look to build on the innovative work of our first year as a national organisation, under the leadership of Blair McDougall. Having worked closely with our excellent team and Board since Movement for Change was founded, I look forward to building on our existing strengths as we take the organisation forward.”
Alongside the appointment of a new Chief Executive, Madlin Sadler will become Chair of the Movement for Change Board.
