COORDINATOR’S INTRODUCTION I am delighted to join the BAN team and look after the role of Coordinator whilst Jessica Juckes is on maternity leave. In my previous role as Administration Manager at Tate Modern as I led a team of Exhibition Assistants in delivering projects across the Tate Modern programme as well as supporting the operational planning of the gallery. I have been at Tate for 7 years and bring a wealth of experience in project planning and delivery across all areas of the galleries including Visitor Experience, Development, Legal & Finance and Curatorial. It was a pleasure to meet members from this year’s cohort of emerging curators in person at the recent workshop in York on 17 March. We were joined by previous ECG member Becky Gee, Curator of Fine Art at York Museums who shared her experience and lead the group on a tour of Beyond Bloomsbury: Life, Love & Legacy and Reyhan King, Chief Executive Officer for York Museums Trust for a Meet the Director session. The day-long workshop was a chance to meet in person with some lively discussions and ideas generated. The group continue to meet online and we are planning another inperson session in the summer.
