The Executive Committee are delighted to welcome Patricia Cowling as our first ever Executive Representative for Europe and the Rest of the World. Patricia has served on the Executive Committee in various roles over the years – Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Treasurer and as an Executive Representative for the West Midlands before she moved to live in France. Throughout her time in France she has acted as a Local Contact but now a new post of Executive Representative for ‘Europe and the Rest of the World’ has been created. Thus Patricia has been given the opportunity to take a full part in all Executive Committee work. Patricia has already been made an Honorary Life Member of AOUG for her previous dedication to AOUG so we are delighted to have her on the Executive once more.
