The chief executive of the Northern Housing Consortium, Jo Boaden, has announced she will retire next year #ukhousing @joboaden

Ms Boaden, who has led the organisation since 2010 and received a CBE in the 2018 New Year’s Honours list, will retire in May 2019.

She was instrumental in setting up the Commission for Housing in the North while in the position, a project by the NHC to examine the specific housing issues faced by northern England. She was also involved in setting up the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Housing in the North.

In October she won ’woman of the year’ at the Women in Housing Awards 2018 (see picture above).

The current deputy chief executive of the NHC, Tracy Harrison, will take over the organisation after Ms Boaden retires.

Ms Harrison has been with the NHC since 2006 and has also held senior roles in private sector organisations. According to the NHC, she has been influential in growing the organisation’s commercial activities.

Ms Boaden said: “It has been a real privilege and a great pleasure to work with so many talented and committed people within the NHC, our board, our membership and beyond. I will miss the NHC but will enjoy watching as Tracy takes the organisation from strength to strength.”

Tom Miskell, chair of the NHC, said: “In her time as chief executive, Jo has led a successful transformational change agenda to position the NHC as the hugely influential and respected membership body that it is today. She has focused the organisation’s role in bringing members together with political stakeholders and other key figures in housing.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Jo and know that she will be greatly missed by her colleagues, fellow board members, and members alike. I’d like to thank Jo for the outstanding job that she has done and will continue to do as she leads the organisation until next year.”
