EU-CORD bids a fond farewell to Ruth, who leaves the network on 1 October after years of dedicated leadership and contribution

EU-CORD would like to thank Ruth for her leadership, dedication and contribution to the network over the years.

Ruth will be leaving EU-CORD on 1 October to take up a new position. We are deeply grateful for the role she has played in supporting our members, strengthening collaboration across the network and helping shape EU-CORD’s development.

As part of the next phase of EU-CORD, the network will continue its transition towards a more member-led model, building on the strengths, expertise and engagement of our member organisations.

The recruitment process for a new Network Coordinator is currently underway. In the meantime, arrangements have been put in place to ensure continuity of the network’s key activities and operations.

We wish Ruth every success and God’s blessing as she begins this new chapter.
