As a registered charitable organisation, Libera of the United States maintains a Board of Directors who are legally responsible for the full oversight of the charity. The current board members are listed below.
Eleanor Lewis
President
Eleanor Lewis enjoyed two successful and fulfilling careers: one in personnel management with a leading retail company; the next in a sixth form college where she was responsible for student recruitment, income generation and managing the Governing Body.
Eleanor’s joy of singing developed as a treble in the St Edmundsbury Cathedral choir. As an adult she has sung with several choral societies and now supports the vocal training of new Libera boys.
Eleanor was inspired to visit a small, local parish church after seeing its boys choir on “Songs of Praise”. There began the bond with St Philip’s church, dedication to Libera, and a friendship with the late Robert Prizeman. Her third, and youngest, child joined Libera at the age of six and Eleanor’s role and commitment to Libera expanded as she became a licensed chaperone, taking on more responsibility for management of tours and concerts. She was a founding Trustee & Director when Libera became a Registered UK Charity in 2008; continues to serve and is Honorary Secretary. Eleanor also became involved with the organisation of tours in the US and joined the board in 2016.
