IVE New Executive Director Announcement

I am delighted to announce that the IVE board of trustees have appointed Tim Balogun as our new Executive Director who will be taking up his post in early June. Tim has spent the last two decades establishing innovative partnerships between community leaders, politicians and stakeholders to support programmes and platforms which help empower our communities.

Tim has held senior leadership roles in a number of community, learning and socially driven arts organisations across the UK, all of which have striven for and achieved notable, positive social impacts for those most in need. Tim implicitly believes in the transformative power of creativity, and it is that belief, together with his impressive track record for success, that makes him the ideal candidate to lead IVE into its next exciting chapter. Tim’s appointment follows the recent retirement of Rosi Lister.

Rashik Parmar MBE, Chair IVE Board of Trustees.
