	Sacha Grodzinski Chair sacha.grodzinski [at] ewb-uk.org	Sacha spent the summer of 2005 volunteering with EWB-UK on an Improved Cooking Stove (ICS) project in Nepal. On his return he co-found EWB-Nottingham driven by the idea that EWB-UK can facilitate International Development while increasing the capacity of young engineers. At the 2006 AGM he was elected on to the Board of Trustees and has been involved with various focus groups including; developing the Training and Education Strategy, overseeing the Training and bursaries programmes, the recruitment of the charities first 2 employees and Communities of Practice. Along with his formal role he has continued to project manage and mentor various ICS work undertaken by EWB-UK and lead a number of talks and workshops. Sacha is committed to raising the quality of EWB-UK’s work through building stronger: internal pools of knowledge, links within the development sector and routes to disseminate our work. This will add weight to EWB-UK’s position as an impact focused facilitator to the International Development sector.

	Steve Hunt steve.hunt [at] ewb-uk.org	Steve first got involved with EWB-UK in 2003 when he quit his job as a consulting mechanical engineer to go on an EWB placement working on slum development in India. After a series of EWB-linked projects and jobs, including relief shelter and wind turbine development, Steve went on to do a Masters in Engineering for Sustainable Development at Cambridge in 2004. At that point he joined the then all-student EWB National Executive and co-ordinated the working group responsible for starting the Professional Network in response to demand from non-students for a way to interact with and contribute to EWB and it's work. For the last four years Steve has been working at the consulting arm of Practical Action (formerly ITDG) on energy access and development projects around the world. He was very pleased to be given the chance to give back to EWB when invited to join the Board of Trustees in 2008.
