Collette succeeds Richard Arnold as Foundation chair, following his 10-year tenure. She first joined the Foundation board in March 2019, and was officially appointed chair in July 2023. She leads a board of 10 fellow trustees, including new members Christopher Saad, Monica Shafaq and Lottie Birdsall-Strong.
The new board met at the Old Trafford stadium on 11 December, before visiting a community project at Foundation partner Dixons Brooklands Academy in Wythenshawe, to witness the work of the Foundation first hand.
Collette said: “I’m delighted to welcome Christopher, Monica and Lottie to the Foundation board, and have enjoyed spending time with them today.
