The AMS writes:
Matthew Saunders, who has been Secretary to both the AMS and its partner organisation the Friends of Friendless Churches for over 40 years, has announced his intention to retire next year. The Friends will be appointing their own full-time Director later this year and AMS Trustees have asked Lucie to take on the additional responsibilities which come with the Directorship of the Society, while continuing in her role as Caseworker.
Lucie joined the AMS in 2011, having completed English Heritage’s two-year Historic Environment Traineeship Scheme. She has 20 years’ experience of working in the heritage sector and has a background in campaigning and public affairs. She has a degree in Art History from the University of Kent and an MA in History of Art from the Courtauld Institute. She studied Architectural History at Birkbeck College and has a particular interest in vernacular and Twentieth Century buildings.
We are delighted that Lucie has accepted our offer to take on the Directorship of the AMS following Matthew Saunders’s retirement in 2018. Lucie has a great combination of skills which Trustees feel will help the AMS secure its place as a key player in the sector.
