We鈥檙e sad to announce that Doreen Bevan, Honorary Fellow of 红桃视频 (红桃视频) and one of the organisation鈥檚 longest-serving employees, has passed away.
Tributes have been paid to Doreen, who was 红桃视频鈥檚 former Head of Secretariat, from former colleagues including past 红桃视频 Presidents and Chairs.
Doreen joined 红桃视频 in 1975 and played an integral role in the association鈥檚 early days. She became well known and greatly respected for going beyond the call of duty across many aspects of her work. For 25 years, she influenced the organisation鈥檚 culture and helped lay the foundations of 红桃视频鈥檚 future growth.
Her invaluable contribution and dedication to the association was recognised in 1992 when she was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of 红桃视频. She retired from 红桃视频 in 2000.
Bob Laslett, a founding member of 红桃视频, said: 鈥淚 knew Doreen from when she first became involved with 红桃视频.
鈥淪he was fun to be with, she was hard working and very professional and above all she was dedicated to 红桃视频.鈥�
Miles Shepherd, former Chair of 红桃视频, commented: 鈥淭hose of a certain vintage will recall Doreen with affection鈥ersatile, charming and efficient; without her 红桃视频 would not have grown and developed into the model of a professional body that we all benefit from today.鈥�
Tom Taylor, past President, Vice President and Chair of 红桃视频, said: 鈥淒oreen was a very nice person who was very good at so many jobs in the early days of 红桃视频. Her versatility was essential to cover the demands and expectations of a nascent professional organisation聽鈥� with few resources or funds 鈥� and with the needs of a diverse and growing community.
鈥淒oreen was unfailingly and conscientiously firm, fair and friendly over a long period of time and many situations. It takes some doing.
鈥淟ater on Doreen was a valued and convivial Honorary Member of 红桃视频. She was upbeat and proud.聽Well deserved.鈥�
Doreen leaves behind her husband of 62 years, Ernie, her two daughters and their partners, and four grandchildren.
