The Sheila McKechnie Foundation (SMK) is delighted to announce the appointment of Katie Roberts as its new Chief Executive Officer.
As our interim CEO for the past year, Katie has demonstrated a clear and compelling vision for how SMK can help campaigners thrive in these uncertain times.
As our recent survey has shown, campaigners are facing increasingly difficult conditions and need the support of organisations like SMK more than ever.
“Katie’s values-led leadership and deep commitment to empowering others to deliver social change are exactly what SMK, and the wider UK campaigning ecosystem need at this moment.” Nicole Itano, Chair of the Board of Trustees.
Katie brings a strong track record of delivering impact, nurturing collaborative relationships, and championing social change. Her appointment marks an exciting new chapter for SMK as it continues its mission to support changemakers across the UK.
“I am so grateful for the trust the SMK team and the Board have placed in me and my leadership, and I am very excited about continuing to work alongside our inspirational partners and campaigners to shape a more hopeful and just future.” SMK CEO Katie Roberts
