With Christine’s current five-year term set to expire this year, the union is now inviting prospective candidates to step forward.
Christine, whose illustrious career began in local newspapers such as the Bedfordshire Express, Windsor Observer, and Slough and Windsor Express, has confirmed her intention to seek re-election for a fourth term.
Speaking about the election process, she remarked, “There’s an election every five years. I will be standing again but as always it’s up to the membership.”
