Councillor Mimi Harker OBE has been appointed as the new Chairman of Buckinghamshire Council, with Cllr Sarfaraz Khan Raja elected as the new Vice-Chairman for the coming twelve months.
Under the council's constitution, a new Chairman is elected annually, and Mimi Harker OBE was formally appointed at last week's Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Buckinghamshire Council.
Mimi has served as Vice-Chairman for the last twelve months and is Ward Councillor for Great Missenden, representing Missenden and Prestwood. She said:
"It is a great honour to serve Buckinghamshire Council in this way and I look forward to undertaking my duties as Chairman in the year ahead. There are many challenges that face us this forthcoming year, but I am here to perform my duties to the very best of my ability and to serve our communities in the way they expect and deserve.
"I have chosen three charities to support this year; South Bucks Hospice because of the compassionate and caring work they do with people suffering from life limiting illnesses, and the difference they make at the most difficult of times, Oasis Partnership, a critical charity with services across Buckinghamshire, that support people with alcohol and substance misuse issues and Heart of Bucks, which supports vital community projects across our county."
