Welcoming Our New Chair of the Board, Richard Pettifer.
Good governance is really important to us at BCHA. Last year, we said goodbye to Dick, our chair of the board who retired after 10 years with the organisation.
Richard Pettifer, who joined the Board in 2022, has now taken over as chair. Richard has extensive experience in social housing in leadership and customer facing roles, and currently works for Clarion Housing as their Director of Customer Experience.
