In 2014-15, Interrelate said goodbye to two
long-serving Board Directors, Graham Seton
and Faye Reid.
After 40 years of service, Graham Seton retired
at the end of January. Graham’s professional
career involved architectural practice, project
and property management and general
administration. Both he and his late wife Anne
took a keen interest in Interrelate since 1974,
when he joined the organisation’s NSW Council.
In Graham’s early years with Interrelate, he
served as State Chairman for five years and then
Federal President of the Family Life Movement.
Over his many years of service, Graham
provided extensive experience, knowledge
and valuable insights to the organisation.
Upon his retirement Graham said, “The thing
that really struck me, was that after 40 years I still
find this organisation has all that compassion
and concern for people.”

After 35 years of service, Faye Reid retired at
the end of the year. Faye started her career
with Interrelate as a Sexuality Educator
and then held various clinical, supervisory
and management roles, including Regional
Management positions. Over a period of 16
years, Faye developed and provided various
training courses and was Chairperson of the
Training and Accreditation Committee. After
25 years as a staff member, Faye was appointed
to the Board in 2004, where she continued to
share her extensive knowledge and expertise.
At her last Board meeting Faye said, “I would
like to acknowledge the staff of Interrelate
who, from the organisation’s inception, have
been dedicated, competent and visionary.
It has been my privilege to be part of the
staff over many years and to have personally
benefitted, as well as seeing evidence of the
positive change in people’s lives facilitated by
Interrelate staff. I have had the rare privilege
as a clinician to hear people’s stories and be
trusted to assist them in their lives.”
