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.’
