Barrett-Baxendale joined Everton in 2010 as chief executive of Everton in the Community and also became the club's chief operating officer in 2011, with responsibility for the Club's HR, ICT, stadium operations and stadium safety and security teams.
"I am so proud to have been invited to join the club's board," she said.
