We have had the most amazing time working together with Marianne, and know she will still very much be a part of this family. We wish you the most fulfilling time pursuing your other passions and projects, Marianne!As such, the Board is looking to find an interim Registrar to start from the end of October. Please submit your interest for the Board’s consideration by the 20th October. In line with our Constitution, the Board will then vote to elect the interim role holder.
