A minnau wedi bod yn Brif Swyddog Gweithredol Cymdeithas Mudiadau Gwirfoddol Powys am fwy na 14 o flynyddoedd, rwyf wedi meithrin cysylltiadau â miloedd o grwpiau a sefydliadau gwirfoddol ar lawr gwlad. Rwyf wedi dod i adnabod cymunedau a phobl Powys ac maen nhw'n agos iawn at fy nghalon. Bu'n fraint cael gweithio'n agos gyda chydweithwyr Bwrdd Iechyd Addysgu Powys a gweld eu hymroddiad, eu diwydrwydd a'u hymrwymiad llwyr. Fel Cadeirydd Bwrdd Partneriaeth Ranbarthol Powys, rwyf wedi helpu i arwain y cydweithio hanfodol rhwng asiantaethau partner a phobl er mwyn gwireddu ein gweledigaeth ar gyfer y gwasanaethau iechyd, gofal a llesiant a nodir yn Strategaeth Iechyd a Gofal Powys. Y canolbwynt pwysicaf imi fydd cefnogi'r bwrdd yn ei waith craidd o osod y cyfeiriad, craffu ar berfformiad a llywio diwylliant, er mwyn i'r bobl yr ydym yn eu gwasanaethu barhau i gael y gofal a'r cymorth o safon uchel y maent yn ei haeddu ac yn ei ddisgwyl.
During my 14+ years as CEO of Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations (PAVO), through links with thousands of grass-roots voluntary groups and organisations, I have come to know and care very deeply for the communities and people of Powys. It has been a privilege to have worked closely with PTHB colleagues and glimpsed a little of their impressive dedication, diligence and commitment. As Chair of Powys' Regional Partnership Board, I have helped to lead the essential collaboration between partner agencies and people in order that we realise our vision for health, care and wellbeing services set out in Powys' Health & Care Strategy. My immediate focus will be on supporting the board in its core work of setting direction, scrutinising performance and shaping culture, in order that the people we serve continue to receive the high standard of care and support they rightly deserve and expect.
