Leeds appoints membership manager

FORMER Membership Manager at the National Day Nurseries Association, Janet Wilson, has been appointed General Manager, Membership and Co-operative Affairs at Leeds Co-operative Society.
Janet has a proven track record in a number of membership and corporate roles, including Programme Manager at the Centre for International Co-operation and Security (CICS) at the Department of Peace Studies, University of Bradford, and Membership Manager for Euromax at the National Museum of Photography, Film & Television in Bradford.
As a member of the senior management team, Janet will play a strategic role in increasing the number of active members of Leeds Co-operative. She will also be responsible for the society&#039s public relations activity.
"I&#039m delighted to have joined an organisation that achieves commercial success without compromising the ideals and values on which it was built," says Janet. "I&#039m looking forward to working with the members and employees of Leeds Co-operative to demonstrate that a co-operative can be both a good community organisation and a good business."
"Janet&#039s appointment is crucial to our plans for the continued development of Leeds Co-operative," says Chief Executive, Alan Gill. "This role combines two important aspects of our organisation: membership and communications. Our active members throughout the community are one of the things that make the Co-op different, and it is important for us to communicate this message so that more and more people in Leeds join us to make the Society even stronger."
