Anita will take up her position as Deputy Chair on the Board from October this year, before taking over as Chair when current incumbent Mark Hopton’s term of office finishes in May 2023.
A passionate Brummie herself, Anita will bring her deep understanding of the region to the roles of Deputy Chair and Chair, as the University continues working towards the goals laid out in its Strategy 2025.
In addition to her advocacy for the creative arts, Anita’s 26-year career with the BBC has seen her take on a varied range of roles – from a Correspondent to being Head of Political and Community Affairs to Head of Public Space Broadcasting.
Alumna Anita also studied for her Master’s at BCU and understands the University’s mission in terms of both being the University for our city and transforming lives. She knows Higher Education well, having previously served as a Governor at BCU, and subsequently been Vice-Chair of the Council at the University of Warwick.
