Seller resigns from IFC advisory panel
Howard Lake | 12 January 2011 | News
Amanda Seller has resigned as chair of the IFC Advisory Panel.
She said it was a ‘natural decision’ that followed on from the resignation of Tony Elischer as a key volunteer for the IFC late last year. “I love the Resource Alliance and the IFC,” she said, “and I’ve done my best to give the best advice I can. The Resource Alliance is choosing to take the IFC in a different direction and they will have someone who can better reflect the direction they’re choosing.”
Consultant Geoff Peters has taken over as Chair for 2011 with Paul Farthing, director of fundraising at Age UK, as vice-chair. Both have been panel members for a couple of years, according to Resource Alliance chief executive Neelam Makhijani. She said: “We are very confident that the next Congress will be a splendid event and meet expectations of all the participants.
“We appreciate Amanda’s commitment to the IFC. However, her stepping down will not have any impact on the IFC.
The International Fundraising Congress takes place from 18-21 October in The Netherlands.
