Howard Lake | 12 July 2007 | News
Melvin Coleman, U.K. Finance Director at Amnesty International, has been appointed as Deputy Chair designate at the Charity Finance Directors’ Group (CFDG), umbrella group that specialises in helping charities to manage their finance-related functions.
Coleman will take over as Deputy Chair of CFDG in September for a two-year term as Steve Mahon steps down as Deputy Chair when he retires from the Board having served his maximum term as a Trustee.
Coleman has been a CFDG trustee for four years and in that time his work on the CFDG Board has been focused on working with the Chair and CEO on governance issues. He has over 35 years of experience of the sector: he was a founder member of the first publicly-funded law centre in the UK and more recently in senior roles at Consumers Association, Engineering Industry Training Board and the Performing Right Society.
