Sue Watkin awarded MBE
 |
February 2007
We are delighted to share the news with members that Sue Watkin, our previous Chair, was awarded an MBE in this year’s New Years honours list, in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the HD community.
This is a well-deserved award: Sue became Chair of the Huntington’s Disease Association in 1992 handing over the reins to Carole Carruthers our present Chair in 2002.
During that time Sue worked tirelessly bringing the Association to the healthy and vibrant position we find ourselves in today. She was instrumental in developing the Regional Care Advisory Service which over the years has grown to 25 RCA posts.
Sue is respected throughout the HD world both nationally and internationally and we're sure those colleagues who have worked closely with her, along with all our members, join with us in sending our congratulations and best wishes to her and her family at this special time.
