Cunninghame Housing Association’s board of management has elected a new chairman at its AGM.

Janet Strang has taken on the position after initially joining the Association’s board of management in 1995.

Janet was elected as company secretary in 2013, then vice-chair in 2014 and served in that position up until she took up the post of chair in August 2015.

Janet takes over the role from outgoing chair, John Steele.

Janet said: “The board members, chief executive and senior staff work well together and are a very successful and forward looking team.”

“I am delighted to have been elected as chairperson and look forward to the Association continuing to ‘Make Our Communities Better Places’ by remaining a successful and innovative housing association and social enterprise.”

Frank Sweeney, chief executive of Cunninghame Housing Association, said: “Our new chair has held several high profile posts on the board of management.

“She has 20 years knowledge of the housing association and social enterprise sector and as such her leadership of the board of management will be invaluable and will add value to the Association.”
