March 2015. CSH Surrey has strengthened its Board with the appointment of Clinton Everard, who brings extensive finance, accounting and commercial experience, and qualified nurse and academic Nora Kearney, who will head up CSH Surrey’s Integrated Governance Committee.
Nora Kearney is currently Head of School and Professor of Cancer Care at the University of Surrey’s School of Health Sciences, and was previously Professor of Nursing and Cancer Care and Dean of Research at the University of Dundee. She is a Registered General Nurse and qualified in Intensive Care Nursing. Nora is replacing Ginny Colwell, who is retiring after her eight year tenure, as CSH Surrey’s clinical Non Executive Director. Nora will sit on CSH Surrey’s main Board as well as Chair its Integrated Governance Committee.
Clinton is Fellow of the Chartered Management Accountants and has a strong finance and accountancy background. He has acted on the Board in a number of senior finance roles, most recently as Chief Financial Officer Global Finance Operations with Williams Lea, a marketing services, media production and outsourced service provider owned by Deutsche Post DHL. Clinton will sit on CSH Surrey’s main Board, its Finance Committee and also becomes the Board representative for the Voice, CSH’s co-owner council, which formally appointed him. Clinton replaces Ginny Colwell as the Voice-appointed Non Executive Director and will meet monthly with CSH’s Voice representatives and support the Voice to further develop CSH’s unique co-ownership culture.
Richard Stacey, Chair of the Voice at CSH Surrey, says: “We are delighted to appoint Clinton as the Non Executive Director representative for the Voice. This is an important role in our co-ownership model as it is the direct link between co-owners, the Voice and the Board, and allows the Board to get an understanding of how CSH is operating at all levels.
“The Voice was involved at all stages of the selection process for the new Non Executive Director. We are confident that Clinton has the right skills, brings a new perspective and perhaps, most importantly, has the right values for this position.”
Bill Caplan, Chair of CSH Surrey, says: “Both Clinton and Nora bring new capabilities and expertise to our Board and sub-committees, as well as to the co-owner council, the Voice. I look forward to working with them and the wider Board to lead CSH Surrey over their three year tenures. I would like to thank Ginny Colwell for her significant contribution to CSH Surrey over the last eight years, from supporting its founders in setting up CSH in 2006 and her leadership of the Integrated Governance Committee to her commitment to developing our culture of co-ownership through the Voice.”
Clinton and Nora join CSH Surrey’s other Non Executive Board Directors, Peter Lock and Steve Flanagan.
