This was a voluntary role with a community-based, third sector organisation. My involvement coincided with a challenging period in the organisation's history where I sought to help 'steady the ship'.

As a native of Merthyr and a senior manager at the University of Glamorgan, I joined the board during a period of transition as the college was integrated in to the University of Glamorgan.

It was here that I learned a lot about people: what motivates them and what is important in life. It was a role that brought me into contact with the highs and lows of people's lives, from births and marriages to deaths.
