Committee News

Chair of The Arts Society Nottingham - Ilanah Dance

News from the Committee

Ilanah is now providing up to date information in the emails which are sent to members each month in the first week of the month. She also gives updates in the messages she gives members before introducing the speakers at the lectures. Anything important can be communicated faster and more easily in this way.  These communications are more direct than the website and more likely to be seen by members. The committee will continue to look at new ways of getting information to you.

Ilanah Dance - Chair and Kate Lewis - Vice-Chair - and other committee changes following the 2025 AGM

Ilanah Dance was re-elected as Chair at the AGM in October 2025.  Kate Lewis was voted as Vice-Chair following the resignation of Lynette Harris. Kate will maintain her role organising Days of Special Interest.  Margaret Morris will take on Young Arts. Sally Green was elected to the committee as Treasurer taking over from Steve Dance who retains his role of Technical Support.  Irene Milburn, who some years ago was the Programme Secretary, has returned to the committee as Assistant Membership Secretary.

Heritage Volunteers Representative wanted

Because Vivienne Jarvis is taking on a new role on the Area Committee and is also Chair of the Trent Valley Society belonging to The Arts Society, we need to find a new representative of Heritage Volunteers to find and organise new projects. Help is provided from the East Midlands Area and their other member societies.  Anyone who is interested and would like more information should contact Hilary Olleson who heads the HV work for the East Midlands Area
