Ruth McNeil, a Board Member since 2008, takes up the post of Vice Chair. A former manager in a unit caring for the elderly, she is also a PoLHA tenant.
Current Chair, Margaret O’Connor, has been re-elected. She joined the board at PoLHA in 2010 and was elected as Vice Chair in 2011 before being elected Chair last year.
