The National Federation of ALMOs (NFA) has appointed a tenant as chair of its board.
Sarita-Marie Rehman-Wall, the former NFA vice chair and a tenant of Nottingham City Homes, is set to be confirmed as head of the representative body’s board at a meeting in June.
She will take over from Hugh Broadbent, chair of Six Town Housing, who stood down in April at the end of his three-year term.
Ms Rehman-Wall said: “I am honoured and delighted to have been invited to take over as chair of the NFA board.
“This is an amazing opportunity to work for the next three years alongside the dynamic members of this federation who are all passionate about delivering the very best in social housing services.
“I’m particularly proud of the fact that, from June, a third of the membership of our board will be tenants.
“This underlines the fact that the ALMO housing management movement has always been committed to tenant inclusion and scrutiny, and it comes at a time when tenant voice has never been more important.”
Shane Brimfield, vice chair and tenant board member of Cheltenham Borough Homes, has also joined the NFA board, meaning three of organisation’s nine board members are tenants.
Stockport Homes has nominated its chair Jenny Osbourne, who is also chief executive of tenant engagement service Tpas, as its representative on the NFA board.
