JOHN QUINN TO STEP DOWN AS CHAIRMAN OF HOSPICE ISLE OF MAN

Hospice Isle of Man has announced that chairman John Quinn is to step down after nine years in this role. However John will remain on the Board of Governors.
John has steered the charity through many changes over the last nine years including a move to the new building nearly three years ago.

Chief Executive Margaret Simpson thanked John for all his support and guidance over the years on behalf of the Board of Governors, staff and volunteers at Hospice.
She added: ‘John has been a tremendous leader for Hospice, his tenacity and calm approach to every situation will be missed.’ ‘We are hopeful John will continue to, as passionate supporter of Hospice, in a voluntary capacity as he has been as our chairman’.

Sir Miles Walker CBE will take over as the new chairman with effect from hospice’s annual general meeting on Wednesday 16th June, 2010. Sir Miles joined the Board in March 2010. Well known on the Island and in Hospice – Sir Miles was involved with the Mighty Oak appeal.

Sir Miles added: ‘On a personal note I am sorry that John has decided to retire from the chair of Hospice, his enthusiasm and attention to detail have brought the organisation a long way during the last nine years.
However I am delighted to join the Board of Hospice and I look forward to the various challenges as Chairman.

Hospice is a tremendously important charity in our Island and gives wonderful support to so many families during their time of need. Mary and I enjoyed our involvement during The Mighty Oak Appeal and I am looking forward to working with so many people throughout the Island who support and love the organisation.’
