Joan Yeo was a member of the Berkshire Federation and on the National Executive committee in the 1940s. She was Chairman of the Education sub-committee at the time that the College was founded, and thus an influence on the early College programmes. She was an Oxford graduate with a degree in History, which is reflected in some of the talks she gave and courses she chaired at Denman.
