At our AGM, a secret ballot took place due to the number of members nominating for a Board position. Eight individuals were elected to the Board of EBL along with CEO Wendy Warren who is automatically a member by reason of her position with the organisation. We are delighted to announce our new Board of Directors: Dawn Brodie, Susan Chapman, Phil Donaldson, Tracey Edwards, Judith O’Donnell, Andrew Sterzl, Christine Streeter and Betsy Tang. You will find the submissions put forward by each Director inside this edition of “ the newsletter. Congratulations to our new Directors, we look forward to working together to create a bright future for EBL Disability Services’ clients in the coming years. ” Our vision is to passionately support individuals and their families to lead fulfilled lives.
