Bernadette Elder Executive Director, Inspiring Housing CLT

I am a passionate place-based leader with more than 20 years' experience supporting communities to create neighbourhoods where people can live well, thrive, and feel connected. Throughout my career, I have worked alongside residents, partners, and public services to build stronger communities by recognising that local people are the experts in their own neighbourhoods. I believe lasting change happens when communities have the opportunity, influence, and resources to shape the places where they live.
