Suzanne Penny – Since  joining hvoss about 6 years ago as an Individual Member, I have enjoyed  learning about the organisation and its vital role in the community.  I  am proud to be part of this and have found being a trustee interesting  and rewarding.  I am current chair of the HR sub-committee which gives  me the opportunity to contribute to the organisation and support hvoss’  excellent work.

My professional career has  centred on Human Resources in industry, the non-statutory sector and as  an NHS HR Director in England and Wales. I have also been a Health  Director in Lesotho.

After leaving a full-time  career I have found it great to be able to bring my varied experience,   which includes the voluntary sector in England and Wales, to the hvoss  Board.  I am keen that hvoss is a good employer, whilst being a leading  influencer and direct provider of community projects.
