Meet the Team
At Aim RDA, our team is driven by a shared commitment to our cause and its positive impact. With over forty years of combined RDA experience, we have a diverse range of professional and personal skills. Our current board of trustees are all founding members of Aim, who work full time in unrelated careers away from RDA. We are an approachable team who are always happy to be contacted with questions, suggestions, or offers of support.
