The Resource Alliance has appointed Mumbai-based activist and campaigner Ingrid Srinath as its new chair of the board with immediate effect. Ingrid succeeds outgoing chair Bill Toliver, whose six-year tenure has come to an end.

“I am delighted that Ingrid Srinath has accepted the nomination to transition to lead our board,” said Willeke van Rijn, CEO of the Resource Alliance. “Ingrid has been a passionate advocate of human rights, social justice, and civil society for over 25 years, a strong promoter of trust-based philanthropy in India and across the world throughout her career, and has been an integral part of our board since early 2020.”

Continuing, she said, “I would also like to extend my sincerest thanks to Bill Toliver for his steadfast leadership and personal support of our team through the pandemic and beyond. Bill served on our board for almost 10 years, including six as chair and a stint as interim CEO. He was a driving force behind the Resource Alliance’s manifesto, our strategic direction, and in securing the long-term future of the organisation.”

Other sitting members of the Resource Alliance Board of Directors include Nana Asantewa Afadzinu, Executive Director of the West Africa Civil Society Institute; Naila Farouky, CEO of the Arab Foundations Forum; Marcelo Iñarra, Director of Club de Fundraising; Pesh Framjee, Special Advisor to the Charity Finance Group; Astrid von Soosten, Partner at Brakeley Fundraising Consultants GmbH; Dr Colin Habberton, Co-Founder of the Relativ Group; and Asha Curran, CEO of GivingTuesday.
