THE CTLA BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The role of the trustees is to strengthen our governance and strategic leadership. The board of trustees typically includes key individuals involved with the management of an organisation. CTLA is grateful for their valuable contribution and the key skills and experience each member brings to CTLA.
