Mrs Hague was one of three new members elected to the prestigious 24-member body on Tuesday. At 30, she is thought to be its youngest member. Labour's Keith Vaz, the MP for Leicester East, becomes one of the two vice-chairs, replacing Patricia Hewitt who left on becoming a Treasury minister.
Members receive no payment apart from expenses.
Mrs Hague and Mr Vaz serve in their new posts alongside Tory former Culture Secretary Virginia Bottomley. The third new board member is Gerard Lemos, a consultant in racial equality. Ms Jenkins will sit on the board alongside Labour's Keith Vaz Mrs Hague, who joins in her professional name of Ffion Jenkins, came to notice for the position because of her job as operations director for the Association for Business Sponsorship of the Arts. I know she will do an excellent job in promoting British cultural links across the world. Ffion will be delighted to make a contribution to the excellent work the board does.
