Mark Stewart joined the BGS at the beginning of January as the new Committees Secretary. Mark has held a number of committee related roles, most recently with the Engineering Council UK and the Association of Accounting Technicians.

Taking up his position at the BGS Mark said: “I am delighted to be joining the team at Marjory Warren House. The care of the older person has touched my own family life recently with a parent who has entered residential care. I am therefore hoping to make a real and lasting contribution to the work of the Society. I am looking forward to meeting all the members of my committees as the 2010 meetings programme unfurls.”

Mark is responsible for providing secretariat support for the following committees: England Council, UKMC, Policy Committee, Education and Training Committee, Finance Committee, Age and Ageing Editorial Board and the Older People’s Specialist Forum. He will also be undertaking additional project work such as revising the 2000 report on the Health and care of older people in care homes.

Our new Committees Secretary is married with two teenage children and, when he is not operating the family taxi, his spare time interests include astronomy and collecting first editions.
