Dr Paul Sabapathy CVO CBE, immediate past Lord Lieutenant for the West Midlands, has joined the Birmingham Commonwealth Association (BCA) Board as a Non Executive Director.

Keith Stokes-Smith, Chairman of the BCA, commented, “ I was so pleased when Paul agreed to join the board bringing with him a wealth of knowledge, experience, energy, commitment and commonwealth connections. He is a man to be admired for his achievements and looked up to with admiration. He has been a great supporter of the BCA since its launch in March 2014 and, as he says himself, a passionate Brummie.

Paul will join myself, Tony Shergill, Wade Lyn CBE, Professor Martin Levermore MBE and Professor Louise Toner, on our team supported by Birmingham City Council.”
