The MS Society has appointed Sue Farrington to its newly created role of Director of Information and Education. Sue was formerly Director of Corporate Affairs at CSV.

In her new role, which starts this month, Sue is responsible for the management of the MS Society's information for people affected by MS - through its website, annual conference programme and publications team. Sue will also be overseeing a drive to improve the Society's professional education programme.

Speaking about her new role, Sue said: "As technologies converge, the MS Society has a great opportunity to respond to people's information needs in the way that they want."

Sue joins the charity with 14 years of senior management experience behind her. In her last role at CSV - the UK's largest volunteering and training organisation - she was responsible for communications, broadcast and campaigns. Previous to that she was Director of Media at the company, providing communications support and media employment training.

Between 2004 and 2008 Sue served on the Ofcom Advisory Committee for England.
