The Advocacy is pleased to introduce the newest member of our team, Annette Chase, who is serving as our Head Business Manager. Annette was born and raised in San Francisco, California. However, she spent much of her life in New York City where she trained and practiced as lawyer, later becoming an administrative law judge, and where she raised her family. She has also lived in the US state of Vermont and in Trieste, Italy and has been residing in London for the past several years. In addition to her legal positions, Annette has taught law-related studies at New York colleges and has been involved with various charitable pursuits.

In London, she has volunteered at FOCUS, a membership organisation for ex-pats, helped raise funds for a project that accessed clean drinking water for children at a school for the blind in Tanzania, and currently serves on the Board of Trustees for the London International Gallery of Children’s Art. We believe that Annette’s diverse experience will be valuable to the Advocacy as she focuses on the sustainability of our organisation to ensure its continuing mission to aid NA patients, including through fundraising initiatives.
