Personal attributes relevant to the role:

I am an engaged Board member, who prepares for meetings, completes agreed tasks, listens and asks questions. The previous and current Board and community roles have provided rich and diverse Director experience, involvement in governance review and constitutional renewal.

I was first elected to the APodA Board in 2019, re-elected in 2021, and 2023. It has been an interesting and challenging time, given our first national Board, the global coronavirus pandemic, CEO retirement, appointment of a new CEO, and a new APodA Editor for JFAR.

In 2025, I offer to serve APodA as a Director for a fourth and final term.

As an APodA Board Director, my efforts continue to be firmly focused on the betterment of all members, the legal and ethical compliances, and the productive collegiality of Board members with the CEO, and management.
