New vice-chair Ms Lock has held senior executive and non-executive roles at a number of housing associations, including Guinness and St Helens Housing Association. She was also elected on the CIH National Council for a number of years.
Ms Street said: “They say time flies when you’re having fun and the past seven years have gone by in a flash. Johnnie Johnson Housing has come such a long way in the time that I have been chair of the board and I couldn’t be prouder of everything we have achieved within that time.”
Yvonne Castle, chief executive of JJH, said: “Thank you to each and every one of our board members, both those departing and those just at the beginning of their journey with Johnnie Johnson Housing.
“The work undertaken by our board drives our ongoing success. We now look ahead to 2025 to the work on the delivery of our vision for the future – a vision that has been developed by the board with our partners, residents and colleagues.”
