Tina Nash Appointed New Raleigh Director
The Board of Directors of Raleigh International Bermuda announced that effective January 1st, 2014, Tina Nash [pictured] will succeed Kristin White as Executive Director for the Charity.
Tina comes to Raleigh Bermuda with a wealth of experience in implementing and developing programmes and opportunities for Young People.
She has worked in both the Government and Private School systems, as well as with non-profit organisations such as Round Square International, The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award and Bermuda Sloop Foundation.
Passionate about the outdoors, Ms Nash has been backpacking since she was 14 years old. Beginning her career as a Phys. Ed. Teacher, she has developed Outdoor Education Programmes at the schools that she has worked in and has lead expeditions/service projects to the Bahamas, Guyana, India, Jamaica, Peru, Thailand, the Appalachians [U.S.A.] and the Rockies [Canada ].
Ms Nash said, “I am very excited about joining Raleigh Bermuda. I would like to thank the Board for giving me the opportunity to continue to work with our incredible Young People and our community.
“By challenging our youth to participate and engage in meaningful, supportive and life-changing activities, we empower them to continue their personal path to become confident, capable, contributing and compassionate members of our community. Raleigh is a globally recognised youth and sustainable development programme and I am delighted to be a part of it.”
Kristin White said, “Tina has an extensive background in many key areas, so I am thrilled we were able to attract someone so skilled and passionate to carry forward what Michael Spurling started in 2004, and what has been my life’s work for the past 7 years.”
“Those years have been a marvel for me. The strength and courage I have seen from our participants has been my teacher and my fire. I am ever-thankful for the experiences afforded me on this journey and I will be watching and supporting along with all of Bermuda to see what exciting things come next for Raleigh Bermuda.”
Tasha Jones, Board Chair, added, “Raleigh thanks Kristin White for her seven years of dedication to the Youth of Bermuda and to the development of Raleigh Bermuda’s programme.
:Her stellar service, tireless energy, amazing creativity and sheer awesomeness have brought Raleigh Bermuda to where we are today. We wish Kristin the best with all that she does and will strive to continue her legacy of nurturing and supporting the Young People of Bermuda.”

2000 unemployed bermudians and still bringin in forigners
so much talk
oba plp ull a bunch of bulls*******
“Bringing in foreigners”?
Not only was she not “brought in”, she’s married to a Bermudian, which means that a Bermudian is helped out by her employment.
But don’t let facts get in the way of your need to spout outrage…
Just to clarify, I am Bermudian, @abc.
Congrats, Tina!
Thanks, Mike!! Much appreciated!
The list of organisations this lady has worked with are here in Bermuda! ‘They’ haven’t brought anyone in @abc. I wonder if you would prefer to have someone who can really help our LOCAL young people based on their expertise or anyone just because they are Bermudian. Surely your thought processes are broader than that? Maybe not.
Nothing like being proved a racist moron with your own comments ABC lol.
Congrats Tina… you walk the walk and have real life experience to share. What a great achievement.
Congrats Tina Nash, well deserved. Tina has worked tirelessly with and for the youth of Bermuda.
Thanks for the kind words all. Just to clarify, I am Bermudian, @abc.
Tina rocks! She has been an inspiration to me and others in the Bermuda community for a long time!
Congratulations Tina: may you continue to be a beacon of light
