We are delighted to welcome Hitesh P. to the GFA Board of Directors 🤝 With his unique perspective on the challenges faced by underrepresented communities, Hitesh has built a career rooted in his commitment to diversity, inclusion, and community involvement. Insight from his youth in one of the most socio-economic deprived areas in England fuels his dedication to breaking down barriers in all aspects of life, particularly in football. Hitesh has been an active and vital member of the Inclusion Advisory Group (IAG) since May 2018, becoming Chair in September 2022. We are sure Hitesh will bring new ideas and impetus as a Director, and that he will be a fantastic advocate for greater inclusion and accessibility in the game. #GlosFA
