The Board of ArabTRUST announces that Susan Batten has resigned as the Chair for personal reasons. We are glad to add that she will remain on The Board as Treasurer.

The Board extends its sincere gratitude to Susan for the leadership she has given to ArabTRUST during her tenure as chair. She steps down as Chair with the thanks of ArabTRUST.

The Board announces that Kevin Keenan has been appointed as the Chairman with effect from 15/09/2021. Kevin has been a member of ArabTRUST since its inception in 2003 and joined The Board in 2011.

On his appointment Kevin said "I am honoured to have been elected as Chair of ArabTRUST, an organisation I have been a member of since day one of its launch in 2003. Firstly I would like to thank Susan Batten for her contribution as Chair of ArabTRUST over the last couple of years, particularly through her work as Treasurer; the development of the TTPs; representing ArabTRUST on the Jim McLean Statue Group, Dundee United Community Trust and for the many hours she and her family gladly volunteered.

He continued “Like everyone, ArabTRUST have found the challenge of Covid very difficult. The Board and I look forward to continuing to develop our partnership with Dundee United and organisations such as Dundee United Business Club, (DUBC), Dundee United Development Association (DUDA), United Ladies of Tannadice (ULT83,) The Federation of Dundee United Supporters Clubs (The Fed), United for All and Dundee United Supporters Foundation (DUSF) to further our key aims and objectives around youth and community development, while continuing to invest in Dundee United and increase our shareholding so that our members have a voice in the running of our club. The support of our members and the wider Dundee United family is vital to the long term success of an organisation such as ArabTRUST and therefore we are currently looking at how we can improve our engagement with these key areas of the United support.

Kevin finished by saying "If you feel you would like to help in any way with the running of ArabTRUST please contact either myself; any other board member or email chairman@arabtrust.co.uk
