The European Sponsorship Association (ESA), the membership body that raises standards within the sponsorship profession, held its AGM yesterday (Wednesday 6th July) with the main order of business being the election of new members to its 15-person Board of Directors.
Five Board Directors were appointed at the AGM. Jackie Fast (Slingshot Sponsorship) and Toby Hester (Sponsorship Coach) were re-elected, while Matthew Leopold (British Gas), Sophie Morris (Millharbour Marketing) and Matt Stevenson (EE) were newly elected and will sit on the ESA Board with immediate effect.
Karen Earl, Chairman of ESA, said “We’re pleased to have two re-elected and three new Board Members on the ESA Board. Their skills will add enormous value to ESA’s drive to protect and promote the sponsorship industry, and I look forward to working with them over the coming year.”
Three current ESA Board Members stepped down during the AGM – Gary Carey of Diageo, Helen Lamb of ESA and Rob Mitchell of Wasps / Ricoh Arena.
The ESA Board is concentrating on the future strategy of the Association in order to place it in the very best position possible to represent the sponsorship industry, and provide its members with benefits that they will value and utilise.
