A message from our longest serving chairman, Mr Iain Bonfield
A message from our longest serving chairman, Mr Iain Bonfield. As most of you will now know, I have taken the decision that following this year’s AGM I would no longer stand for Chairman of Sheffield DA.
I was elected from the floor to the role of Chairman of Sheffield DA back in the last millennium, 1999. It was a role that I have greatly enjoyed holding, and being part of this great and historic DA. But now after nearly 22 years, it’s the time for a new face to take on the role of Chairman and I wish Rob Lees all the best in taking on the baton on leading this great DA as your new chairman of Sheffield DA.
