**The Institute of Fundraising has announced the appointment of two new trustees.**

Mark Astarita, director of fundraising at the British Red Cross and Mike Barnes,
director of marketing and business development at the Direct Marketing Association
were co-opted to the board. The governance structure allows a maximum of five non-
elected trustees and these appointments are made when the board feels it would be
enhancd by adding a particular area of expertise.

Barnes’ membership and marketing experience and Astarita’s fundraising and direct
mail knowledge will complement the board as it moves forward.
