Boggis joins having served in high profile roles for three government departments
Effective Monday (8 September), Emma Boggis will take up the role of CEO for the Sport and Recreation Alliance, replacing interim CEO Sallie Barker.

Prior to her appointment, Boggis was non executive director for the British Paralympic Association and head of the government’s Olympic and Paralympic Legacy Unit.

Boggis has also held roles as private secretary to Prime Minister David Cameron, deputy head of mission and political counsellor with the Foreign Office, and deputy director of social policy and legislation for the Cabinet Office.
