We’re thrilled to announce that our Co-Artistic director Ajay Chhabra has been appointed to represent Europe for the Commonwealth Foundation, working in tandem with four other Civil Society Advisory Governors (CSAG).
The Commonwealth Foundation has a tradition of involving civil society in its governance structure. The Foundation’s Board of Governors comprises representatives of its Member States as well as five CSAG members: distinguished civic voices that each represent a region of the Commonwealth.
The representatives will provide guidance on aspects of the Commonwealth Foundation’s programmes as well as its long-term strategy. The four other territories represented by the Commonwealth Foundation and their representative Governor are: Celia Wade-Brown (Pacific), Kalpana Kannabiran (Asia), Goretti Kyomuhendo (Africa), and Dr. Marlene Attzs (Caribbean and Americas).
Congratulations Ajay!
