My name is Tina Fox and was elected to Council in January 1999 at Chiang Mai. I find this very rewarding although hard work at times. I am particularly interested in helping those Societies in countries were the vegetarian movement is not well established and they have few resources. As I enjoy travel I also know first hand just how frustrating it can be to find vegetarian food in an unsympathetic country. I consider myself very fortunate in that I was actually employed, as Chief Executive, by the world's oldest and most established Society, the Vegetarian Society of the UK. Prior to this my work was in local government but my interests were always in the animal welfare and green movements. I wrote the UK Green Party's policy on animal rights and have been a contact for most of the UK's animal rights groups at one time or another. When time permits my interests also include gardening, reading and house restoration! - [**Gourmet Vegetarian Holiday aboard the Black Watch - 2007**](http://www.vegsoc.org/community/cruise.html) - [**Selling the Symbol : The Vegetarian Society's Seedling Licence Scheme**](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/3337-congress-2004-lectures-tina-fox1.html) *-* WVC 2004, Brazil - [**Sowing Seeds for a Vegetarian Future : Smiling our Way to Success: Positive campaigns that work** ](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/3338-congress-2004-lectures-tina-fox2.html)- WVC 2004, Brazil - **[World Vegetarian Congress, Edinburgh 2002](https://ivu.org/hv-congress-2002-congress-2002-index.html) -** organised by Tina - **[Sowing Seeds for a Vegetarian Future - Smiling our Way to Success](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/3315-congress-2002-texts-tina.html)** (World Congress 2002) - **[Members' Corner](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/5493-news-2002-members.html)** (IVU News, 2002) - [**Global Voices**](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/3220-congress-2002-globalvoices.html) - preview of the Edinburgh Congress, October 2001 - **[Members' Corner](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/5477-news-2001-1-members.html)** (IVU News, 2001) - **[Countdown to the Congress](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/3214-congress-2002-countdown.html) -** March 2001 - **[The Dancing Chief Executive](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/5693-news-oct2000-dancing.html) -** report from the Toronto 2000 Congress - **[Members' Corner](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/5704-news-oct2000-members.html)** (IVU News Oct 2000) - [**Presentation to Sir Paul McCartney, 1999**](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/4895-people-music-macca.html) - [**IVU Members and Supporters**](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/4405-members-index.html) Tina is IVU Membership Secretary - [**Marketing the Message: The Changing Face of Vegetarianism in the United Kingdom**](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/3748-congress-thai99-texts-market.html) (World Vegetarian Congress 1999) - [**Small is beautiful - starting a vegetarian group**](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/3736-congress-thai99-reports-workshops.html) - with Katherine Azzopardi (WVC 99) - [**Pre-congress notes**](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/3697-congress-thai99-profiles-tina.html) (WVC 99) - **1847-1997 Vegetarianism A cause for Celebration** - with Bronwen Humphries (EVU News 97/2) - **Español:**1847-1997 Vegetarianismo: Un motivo de celebración - [**Vegetarian Society UK**](http://www.vegsoc.org/) - Tina is the former Chief Executive The Wirral, UK A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 1596 ## Schema ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=article&id=4388:members-council-tina-fox&catid=208","url":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=article&id=4388:members-council-tina-fox&catid=208","name":"Tina Fox — IVU International Council","description":"IVU Council member from 1999, Membership Secretary (1999-2006), Chair of Council from 2002 and organiser of the 2002 World Vegetarian Congress.","inLanguage":"en","isPartOf":[{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html#archive"},{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html#international-council"}],"about":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#/schema/person/tina-fox"},"mainEntity":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#/schema/person/tina-fox"},"publisher":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#organization"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https://ivu.org/#/schema/person/tina-fox","name":"Tina Fox","description":"IVU Council member from 1999, Membership Secretary (1999-2006), Chair of Council from 2002 and organiser of the 2002 World Vegetarian Congress.","url":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=article&id=4388:members-council-tina-fox&catid=208","memberOf":[{"@type":"OrganizationRole","roleName":"Member of the IVU International Council","memberOf":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#organization"},"startDate":"1999","endDate":"2010","description":"Represented: UK"}]}]} ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://ivu.org" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "IVU", "item": "https://ivu.org/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Resources", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Biographies", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "name": "History of the Vegetarian Societies", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 6, "name": "members", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 7, "name": "council", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 8, "name": "Tina Fox", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/4388-members-council-tina-fox.html" } ] } ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Article", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/4388-members-council-tina-fox.html" }, "headline": "Tina Fox", "description": "Tina Fox: IVU Council Member 1999 - Membership Secretary 1999-2006 Deputy Chair of Council 2000-2002 World Vegetarian Congress Organiser 2002 Chair of Council 2002 - Tina with Sir Paul McCartney, December 1999... and speaking at the World Vegetarian Congress, Edinburgh 2002 Just a few words to", "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "International Vegetarian Union", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://ivu.org/images/logos/logo-ivu-tranparent-background.png" } }, "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Alex Fernandes", "url": "https://ivu.org/international-council.html" }, "datePublished": "2026-06-30T23:45:08+00:00", "dateCreated": "2026-06-25T01:38:33+00:00", "dateModified": "2026-10-08T00:54:44+00:00" } ```
