League appoints new CEO
Posted 2nd December 2024
The Chair and Board of the League Against Cruel Sports are delighted to announce that Emma Slawinski, the current Director of Policy, Prevention, and Campaigns at the RSPCA, is joining our charity as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Emma brings a wealth of experience in the animal welfare sector and significant campaigning and advocacy expertise, along with a strong commitment to supporting and building on the successes we’ve already achieved together.
Chair of the League's Board, Mayor Dan Norris MP, said: “Emma has a long history of successfully reducing the pain and suffering of animals through her outstanding work in key animal welfare organisations that include Compassion in World Farming, World Animal Protection, and the RSPCA.
“From writing to the RSPCA about the Grand National as a primary school student to becoming its Director of Policy, Prevention, and Campaigns, Emma has dedicated her life to protecting animals and we are delighted she will now join the League to protect animals persecuted through so called sport.
“The Board and I would like to express our sincere thanks to Chris Luffingham for stepping into the interim chief executive role to provide exceptional leadership, continuity and stability during a busy year. After the snap election, Chris managed our general election activities while delivering on the League’s important charitable objectives. He will continue to share his expertise with us as our deputy CEO.”
The League is very much looking forward to Emma Slawinski beginning her new role with us as Chief Executive Officer in March 2025.
