Changes to Inverness arts venue Eden Court’s board of directors
Scotland’s largest combined arts venue, Eden Court, has announced changes to its board of directors.
Existing board member Don Robertson has been appointed chairman.
Duncan Hendry, chief executive of Capital Theatres in Edinburgh, and Heidi Hall, director of the Central School of Ballet in London, have been appointed to the board.
And Inverness-based artist Lou Brodie, has been co-opted to the Eden Court education committee.
Chief executive James Mackenzie-Blackman said: “I’m really pleased that we are starting Eden Court on a new journey of refreshed governance with the appointment of some exceptional colleagues to steer the strategic direction of Eden Court and help us deliver our ambitious plans for the future. Don, Duncan, Heidi and Lou will no doubt provide exceptional contributions to the board.
"Now, more than ever, charities need to work harder to prove to their stakeholders and funders that what we are doing works and deserves investment.
"We also need to work harder to diversify our boards to ensure they represent the communities we serve.
"Our new appointments help to balance both age demographic and gender representation, but there is so much more to do. I look forward to doing just that with all of these new colleagues, and all of those who they join.”
