Leading housing and planning charity the Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA) today announced that Kate Henderson will be its Interim Chief Executive.
The news follows Gideon Amos’s departure to join the Infrastructure Planning Commission at the beginning of March.
Kate, who was formerly the TCPA’s Head of Strategy, will take up the position of Interim Chief Executive from February 11.
Since joining the TCPA team as Communications Manager in early 2007, Kate has raised the profile of the Association through communicating a range of complex policies and campaigns in line with the charity’s objectives. She subsequently supported the Association’s policy work as a professional member of the Energy Institute.
The Board of Trustees will be advertising for a permanent Chief Executive shortly, meanwhile Kate’s work as Interim Chief Executive is supported by the established Management Team of Dr Hugh Ellis as Chief Planner, Graham Nickson as Policy and Projects Manager, Diane Smith as European and Corporate Affairs Manager and Nick Matthews as Editor-in-Chief.
