Welcome to the summer edition of the Karten Network’s newsletter. We are very grateful to contributors who have shared articles for inclusion in this issue, we hope you enjoy reading the newsletter. As I write, the sun is streaming through my office window, and I am hoping that maybe summer has arrived just in time for the holiday period!
Farewell to David Finch
Earlier this month we said farewell to one of our longstanding Trustees, David Finch. David has generously volunteered as a Trustee and was influential in developing the strategic direction of the Karten Network and in determining a new model of governance as the Network transitioned into a charitable entity. David had many skills we were able to draw on having worked within specialist education in the UK for over 25 years as a teacher, manager and senior director. He is a passionate driver for enabling technology, specialist teacher education and international development. We know David will continue to be interested in the work of the Karten Network. Thank you for all you have done David, from your friends and colleagues across the Karten Network we wish you all the very best for the future.
Social Media
We are giving some thought to further developing the Karten Network’s use of social media platforms and increasing our social media presence. But we would like to align our activities with the views of our Karten Centre users and staff. Please share ideas you have for how we should be engaging with social media by emailing dawn@karten-network.org.uk.
Trustee Vacancy
We are looking to strengthen and complement the Karten Network Board with the addition of new Trustees with relevant interests and experiences. The Board of Trustees will play a key role in the development of the charity, setting the overall strategic direction and providing scrutiny to processes and decisions as well as ensuring standards of governance are upheld.
If you are interested in this exciting opportunity please contact dawn@karten-network.org.uk to arrange an informal discussion about the role. Following a discussion, expressions of interest will be invited, to be received by 6th September 2024.
