Sally Harvey has been confirmed as permanent chief executive of the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), after one year as acting chief executive.
It follows the appointment of Eleanor Southwood as RNIB’s new chair in July.
Southwood said: ‘Blind and partially sighted people face significant barriers to inclusion in society. In Sally’s appointment we have someone who will work with our community to tackle this head on.’
Harvey has held senior leadership roles at RNIB since joining in 2009. Previously, she was acting chief executive and director of housing at Abbeyfield Society and director of resident services at the Peabody Trust.
