Galway 2020 recently engaged Martin Green CBE, an experienced practitioner in the sphere of cultural programme development and delivery, to work with the members of the company for a period of approximately four weeks to identify the key cultural leadership requirements as Galway 2020 moves into the delivery phase of the programme. He has been engaged to share his experience and knowledge of delivering a very successful UK Capital of Culture in Hull in 2017 and the opening ceremony of the London Olympics 2012.
