The Trustees The organisation is run by a Board of Trustees who are elected annually by the members. We meet four times a year to consider applications. The inaugural Trustees are: Chair – Linda Henderson (Glenferness): Before moving to the East Nairnshire area in 2017, Linda was twenty years in Skye running her own business and working as an administrator in various other concerns. She served there as a community councillor and a community organisation trustee. In a former life she was a civil servant and a few other things. Currently she is also an East Nairnshire Community Councillor. Now retired, her passions are her garden, reading, knitting and spinning. Treasurer – Peter Arris (Lethen): Also retired, Peter was a Finance Manager in the agricultural sector for thirty years. As a former Chairperson of Auldearn Primary School Board he oversaw the refurbishment and new build at the School, helped establish and run Nairn mini rugby club and was a guest presenter of Finance on the Understanding Industry courses in many Highland secondary schools. Enjoys all aspects of country life and is a keen member of the Fornighty table tennis club. Martine Scott (Braeside) Martine is currently a freelance programme manager within NHS Scotland.
