Shipway steps into Chair role on interim basis; view AGM agenda

The organisation’s Vice Chair will temporarily take over from Adam Walker – who steps down at the weekend after completing the maximum eight-year term of service – while the process to identify and appoint a permanent successor is concluded. 

"I’m honoured to step into the role of Interim Chair at Volleyball England whilst we continue our critical recruitment of a new Chair to take up the role on a permanent basis,” said Shipway. 

“As a committed and highly-skilled Board, we remain collectively focused on continuing to ensure effective governance and robust strategic oversight, and importantly, supporting the whole volleyball community as we embrace the opportunities and challenges ahead. 

“My immediate priority is to support with the transition to a new Chair's tenure with steady and collaborative leadership as we all move forward together.”
