Great Dunmow Round Table Officers and Members 2018 – 2019
Chairman – Irene Van Den Ende
Irene is a bank clerk in London and originally reigns from South Africa. His favourite saying is “How would you like your money?” Irene joined Round Table in 2013.
As Chairman, Irene represents Great Dunmow & District Round Table and sets the targets for the year. He also chairs our business meetings which are always prompt and well organised, as well as really fun.
Irene will also set a ‘Chairman’s challenge’ for the members.
A large part of the role is also cultivating a team spirit and ensuring that all Tablers know their responsibilities and are pulling their weight.
