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.”

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.
