Wales-based charity, Tenovus Cancer Care, announces the appointment of Tracey Burke as Chair of Trustees with effect from the end of March 2024. Tracey will take over from Professor Malcolm Mason OBE, who will step down in the spring after serving a maximum of two terms.
Tracey has worked in the public sector for three decades, for the UK Government, the Irish Government, and the Welsh Government. She has held posts across a range of portfolios including economy, transport, housing, and sustainability, and during that time has worked closely with the charity sector.
She was appointed as Chair following an external recruitment process.
As well as leadership experience at Executive and Board level, Tracey has a long personal history with Tenovus Cancer Care from her childhood right through to the present day.
Her grandparents were there at start of the charity in 1943 and her parents – June and John Burke – dedicated most of their lives to supporting the cause. Sadly, June and John passed away in recent years, but both left an indelible mark on the charity’s history.
