It gives me great pleasure to announce the re\-appointment of Rona Aldrich, Gwyn Williams and Elin Maher as Members of the Welsh Language Commissioner’s Advisory Panel. The reappointment will begin on 1 April 2024 for a three year term.

The Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011, which established the Advisory Panel specifies that the Welsh Minister must ensure that, as far as it practicable, there are at least three members of the advisory panel at any time.  Reappointing Rona, Gwyn and Elin in addition to the two existing Members, Anne Davies and Nia Elias ensures that the panel has the range of skills and experiences necessary to provide the Commissioner with advice on matters relevant to her functions.
