The West Armagh Consortium held its annual general meeting last week. Following the yearly reports a new committee was elected with Mrs. Fiona Kelly getting elected as chairperson. Fiona is the first female chair of the consortium and will bring a wealth of experience to the role. Previously she held the position of chairperson on the Neighbourhood Renewal Partnership Board. She held that position for several years. Fiona has also been involved with St.Patrick's Park Residents Group for many years.
Mr.Kevin Fields was elected into the secretary’s position. Kevin also serves on Callanbridge and Legar hill Residents Association and has represented that group on the consortium for several years.
There was no change in the treasurer’s post with Mrs Pauline Quigley getting re-elected to the role. Pauline has held the post now for three years and enjoys the confidence and support of the consortium committee.
The AGM comes at an exciting time in the consortium. As previously reported the consortium was successful in a Big Lottery application for a resource and programmes costs to be based at our offices in Sherrys Sports Complex. The awarded amount to just under £200,000 and will be a three years project.
