With a career in local government that started when she became an apprentice at just 16, Joanne Roney has been in her current position as Chief Executive of Wakefield MDC since July 2008. Commenting on her new appointment Joanne said; “In the current economic context the role the RIEP can play to assist local authorities and our partners to share good practice, innovate, and operate more efficiently has become very important. I look forward to working with colleagues and elected members to ensure we maintain our momentum and that as a region we are recognised as being at the forefront of this agenda nationally.”
