NGA Consultants Honoured
Two NGA consultants have received recognition in this year's King’s Birthday Honours
The National Governance Association (NGA) is proud to announce that two of our consultants, Peter Thomas and Ian Wilson, have been recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours List for their outstanding contributions to education and governance. Peter Thomas has been awarded the Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), while Ian Wilson has been honoured with the Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE).
