It gives me great pleasure to announce the re\-appointment of Anne Davies and Nia Elias as Members of the Welsh Language Commissioner’s Advisory Panel. The reappointment will begin on 24 February 2023 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 Anne and Nia in addition to the three existing Members, Rona Aldrich, Elin Maher and Gwyn Williams ensures that the panel has the range of skills and experiences necessary to provide the Commissioner with advice on matters relevant to her functions.


**Anne Davies** is Professor of Law and Public Policy in the Law Faculty at the University of Oxford. She has particular expertise in relation to employment law and public law, in particular, government contracts. Anne was born and brought up in England and has ties to north and west Wales. She learnt Welsh as an adult and contributes a learner’s perspective to the Advisory Panel’s discussions.


**Nia Elias** is a member of Museum Wales’s Senior Executive Team and leads fundraising for the charity with its Initiatives and Philanthropy teams. In addition, she volunteers as Director on the Board of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol. Born in Newport, she grew up in Carmarthen with strong family ties to Ceredigion.  Nia now lives with her young family in the Vale of Glamorgan. She speaks fluent Welsh. After studying history at Warwick University, Nia developed a career in corporate events and fundraising at the Imperial War Museum, Somerset House and the Tate Gallery. During her time in London she volunteered to raise money for the city's Welsh nursery circles. Nia spent five years as Deputy Director of Business Performance at Wales Millennium Centre leading income generation and customer experience teams. Her practical experience of leading on the implementation of Welsh Language Standards within the organisation provides an important perspective to the panel discussions as well as her experience of being an interim Director of charity Blood Cancer UK during 2020 with teams across the UK and a bilingual beneficiary in Wales.


Efa Gruffudd Jones, Welsh Language Commissioner, said:


“*As the new Welsh Language Commissioner I am pleased that both Anne and Nia have been re\-appointed to my Advisory Panel.  Both offer different perspectives to the Advisory Panel’s discussions based on their expertise within their respective fields. Looking at the Advisory Panel as a whole, I am confident that I have an effective and experienced Panel who will be able to offer valuable advice as I undertake my role”.*

Mae’n bleser mawr gen i gyhoeddi ailbenodiad Anne Davies a Nia Elias fel aelodau i Banel Cynghori Comisiynydd y Gymraeg.  Bydd ailbenodiad y ddwy yn cychwyn ar 24 Chwefror 2023 am gyfnod o dair blynedd.


Mae Mesur y Gymraeg (Cymru) 2011, sydd yn sefydlu’r Panel Cynghori, yn nodi bod yn rhaid i Weinidogion Cymru sicrhau, i’r graddau bo hynny yn ymarferol, bod o leiaf tri ond dim mwy na phum aelod ar y panel ar unrhyw adeg.  Mae ailbenodi Anne a Nia yn ychwanegol i’r tri aelod presennol sef Rona Aldrich, Elin Maher a Gwyn Williams yn sicrhau bod gan y panel yr ystod o sgiliau a phrofiadau sy’n angenrheidiol wrth iddynt roi cyngor i’r Comisiynydd ar faterion sydd yn berthnasol i’w swyddogaethau.

Cafodd Anne ei geni a’i magu yn Lloegr ac mae ganddi gysylltiadau teuluol gyda gogledd a gorllewin Cymru. Dysgodd Cymraeg fel oedolyn ac felly’n cyfrannu safbwynt dysgwyr i drafodaethau’r Panel Cynghori.

Yn ogystal, mae hi’n gwirfoddoli fel Cyfarwyddwr ar Fwrdd y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol. Cafodd ei geni yng Nghasnewydd, ac mae wedi’u magu yng Nghaerfyrddin gyda chysylltiadau teuluol cryf â Cheredigion.  Mae Nia nawr yn byw gyda’i theulu ifanc ym Mro Morgannwg. Mae’n siarad Cymraeg yn rhugl. Ar ôl astudio hanes ym Mhrifysgol Warwick, datblygodd Nia yrfa mewn digwyddiadau corfforaethol a chodi arian yn yr Amgueddfa Ryfel Imperialaidd, Tŷ Somerset a’r Oriel Tate. Yn ystod ei hamser yn Llundain fuodd gwirfoddoli i godi arian dros gylchoedd meithrin Cymraeg y ddinas. Treuliodd Nia bum mlynedd fel Dirprwy Gyfarwyddwr Perfformiad Busnes yng Nghanolfan Mileniwm Cymru yn arwain timau cynhyrchu incwm a phrofiad cwsmeriaid. Mae ei phrofiad ymarferol o arwain ar weithredu Safonau'r Gymraeg o fewn y sefydliad yn cynnig safbwynt pwysig i drafodaethau’r panel yn ogystal â’i phrofiad o fod yn Gyfarwyddwr dros dro i elusen Blood Cancer UK yn ystod 2020 gyda thimoedd ar draws DU a buddiolwr dwyieithog yng Nghymru.

*“Fel Comisiynydd y Gymraeg newydd rwy'n falch bod Anne a Nia wedi cael eu hailbenodi i fy Mhanel Cynghori.  Mae'r ddau yn cynnig safbwyntiau gwahanol i drafodaethau'r Panel Cynghori yn seiliedig ar eu harbenigedd o fewn eu priod feysydd. Wrth edrych ar y Panel cyfan, rwy'n hyderus ei fod yn banel effeithiol a phrofiadol a fydd yn gallu cynnig cyngor gwerthfawr wrth i mi ymgymryd â'm rôl ".*
