A graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and a career governance professional, my passion for community history stretches back to secondary school. Researching the history of our family home I became involved in the Mordialloc Historical Society Inc including a stint as Secretary which provided me a broader perspective on community history groups and the valuable role of both community history and community history groups in creating, preserving and presenting local identity.
My involvement at Mordialloc also led to me becoming Secretary of the South Eastern Historical Association Inc. for 5 years. With post graduate qualifications in business information technology and information management as well as museum studies, I am currently Deputy Chair of the Heritage Committee, Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria and a committee member Art Deco and Modernism Society of Australian Inc. I hold the senior governance role in a local government with responsibility for functions including risk management, insurance, governance responsibilities such as statutory compliance and the conduct of formal meetings as well as corporate planning, performance and reporting. I am excited to have an opportunity to be considered for a role at PMI as it continues through a period of change and development and offer my skills, experience and enthusiasm to that work.
