Chris undertook the role of Area Manager for the southern half of the county as well as responsibility for the finances for the organisation. She retired from paid employment in 2012. Her understanding of accounting procedures, finances, administration and purchasing is clearly of tremendous benefit to the charity but her education background is hugely beneficial when it comes to placing students in secondary schools and seeing them through to the culmination of formal education.
