NHSF appoints new Chair of Board of Trustees
The National Heritage Science Forum has appointed Alastair McCapra as Chair of its Board of Trustees, to succeed current Co-Chairs Nancy Bell and Professor May Cassar at the AGM on 16 December 2015.
Alastair is CEO of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR). His previous experience is as CEO of the Landscape Institute, the professional body of landscape architects, and as CEO of the Institute of Conservation.
Alastair commented,
"I am delighted to have the opportunity of working with the heritage science community once again. The Forum plays a critical role in advancing research and public engagement and that agenda has probably never been as important as it is now. We live in very challenging times and the Forum must provide the leadership we need to make sure that UK heritage science remains a world leader".
