Historic Towns and Villages Forum seeks new Board Directors

Are you a senior conservation officer, or a senior planning or design officer with responsibilities for conservation in a local authority? Or do you work in a heritage or conservation planning based private practice with a particular interest in contributing to the wider heritage and conservation sector?

The Historic Towns and Villages Forum (HTVF) www.htvf.org is seeking people with expertise and experience to join its Board, contributing to the development of its influence and activities, and creating further links with other organisations.
 
The HTVF is currently a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee. The Board meets around four times a year, in Oxford, London and virtually. Board members lead specific aspects of the Forum’s activities, and promote wider interest in the benefits of membership and participation in the services it offers. The HTVF’s members include local authorities, town and parish councils, civic and amenity groups, national advisory bodies, consultancies and private companies, plus individuals. The Forum has begun the process of becoming a charity to align our constitution more closely with our aspirations, and to raise the profile of our activities with future supporters. Experience and an interest in becoming a Trustee in due course will be helpful.
 
Through its events programme, the HTVF addresses the strategic and current interests of its broad membership, and the opportunities and challenges presented to those managing change in historic places and settlements. The HTVF also provides best practice guidance and undertakes action-research projects.

If you are interested, please send your details including a CV to the Chair of the HTVF, Steven Bee, and the Executive Director, Louise Thomas: htf@kellogg.ox.ac.uk
