Asha Khemka
Asha took up her post as Principal/Chief Executive, West Nottinghamshire College in May 2006. It is one of the largest colleges in the country with 16,000 students and an annual budget of £45 million. She has been instrumental in the development of standards for further education colleges nationally and was a well-respected member of the Ofsted inspection team. At a national level, she has been a member of advisory boards committed to the improvement of both teaching and learning, and the qualifications framework. Asha currently sits on the boards of NILTA, the AoC and the LSIS, and is a Trustee of the Helena Kennedy Foundation Trust. She is also a member of the Derby University Court and a board member of Experience Nottinghamshire and the Mansfield Area Strategic Partnership. In July 2007, Asha was awarded the National Jewel Award for Excellence in Healthcare and Education and, in May 2008, was honoured with the Asian Women of Achievement Award. The College has recently embarked on a £96m new build project and has gone through a full Ofsted inspection with an `outstanding` grade profile across the board.
