About the BSA
The trustees of the British Stammering Association plan the overall strategy and direction of BSA's work. You can email them on chair@stammering.org. These are the trustees for 2009/10:

Tanveer Ali
I am a Software Analyst from London. I joined the BSA in 2004 and got elected as a trustee in 2007. My commitment is to empower other people who stammer so that they are not stopped by fears and realise their dreams. I take particular interest in events and workshops that allow people who stammer to interact, share and go beyond their comfort zone. tanveerrameez@yahoo.com |

Keith Boss
A 'world that understands stammering'. The BSA takes a strong lead in this through its important projects and by being an excellent stammering information provider with its website. I will work with other Trustees to speak out to the media and MPs as well as reaching out to more stammerers. What do you want from us?

Rob Coe
Despite stammering all of my life I have resisted the temptation for the disability to hinder my life - to varying degrees of success. Since joining the BSA in 2006 I have been inspired by the achievements of fellow stammers, mainly from events organised and sponsored by the BSA. I currently work as an English teacher and run a successful stammering self-help group in Cambridge. Email: cambridgeselfhelp@hotmail.co.uk |

Leys Geddes (Chair)
I will continue to use my business and marketing experience to ensure that the BSA does everything possible to help stammerers. But, to make real progress, we need to spend more time speaking to the 99% of people who don't stammer, so they will understand the difficulties we face, and help us achieve change. If you can help, please ring me at home on 020 8274 0047, or email chair@stammering.org |

Pete Hancock (Vice Chair)
I'm an Honours Graduate in Economics & Politics with 35 years experience of working in Government. I feel strongly that BSA needs to act as an effective and campaigning voice on behalf of all people who stammer, young and not so young - while still retaining a sense of humour!

Colin Marsh
Originally from South London, I have lived in Leicester for many years, and work as a Careers Adviser. I know from both my personal and professional experience the devastating effect a stammer can have on a person's life. I believe that the BSA provides a vital service to all those affected by stammering, and I am looking forward to being involved in what promises to be a challenging time for the Association. |

Vipan Narang
I'm a qualified Chartered Accountant and have stammered since I was 18. I see the BSA continuing to build its foundation of services for people affected by stammering and attract funding for many new projects, including further children's initiatives, adult projects (e.g. careers guidance), the support networks and BSA's widely acclaimed website.

Dr Trudy Stewart
I have been working alongside children and adults who stammer for more than 30 years, and continue to be challenged and fascinated by the issues that arise. I have a particular interest in psychological aspects of stammering and group therapy. I am involved in clinical training of SLTs, research, teaching university courses, and have written extensively on stammering. I have been a supporter of BSA since its inception and have acted as an SLT advisor for many years. |
