An Operating Department Practitioner and Anaesthetic/Theatre Coordinator at Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest, Cllr Tudor was nominated by Cllr Paul Miller and seconded by Cllr Joshua Beynon.
Cllr Tudor thanked members for supporting his nomination.
He added: “I would also like to thank the staff from Pembrokeshire County Council and the democratic committee services for exercising their duties in the most professional manner, as always.
“I will embrace the role of Chair with enthusiasm and motivation and am extremely mindful of the privilege members have entrusted in me, and I will exercise my duties with humility and with the profound sense of responsibility that has been placed upon me.
“My chosen charities during my chairmanship will be the Adam’s Bucketful of Hope and The Paul Sartori Hospice at Home Foundation who are keen to work together for the benefit of their patients and the people of Pembrokeshire, and if residents wish to make a donation to the charities, that would be greatly welcomed and appreciated.”
