Governance Experience
Trustee Aug 2013 – Current Day
Wellington Help Foundation
As a trustee of Wellington Help Foundation, I am one of a board of seven individuals who provide effective governance & support to the Manager of the service. This includes setting & monitoring the strategic direction for the organisation & ensuring that it is fit for purpose. Additionally, I consider it an important part of my role to champion the vision & values of the organisation & promote & support the ending of sexual violence within our society.
Trustee Nov 2005 – May 2007
Wellington Night Shelter (New Zealand)
As a Trustee for the Wellington Night Shelter, I was one of 12 board members. In addition to the usual governance responsibilities, the rebuild of the facility allowed the opportunity to challenge the status quo & suggest a new approach for the service, based on my extensive experience of working within the homelessness sector. I worked together with two other board members to develop the policies, procedures & practice models for more proactive & effective services.
