PRESIDENT REPORT
NICOLE SWAINE
At our last AGM we farewelled Suzanne Thomas and Marcela Perez from our
Board and we welcomed Tara Bates, Chantale Millard and Kelly Graham
Sutton, co-opting Pricilla Corbell to cover leave of absence of Elouise Van
Genderen. I thank all Board members, past and present for their dedication
to the YWCA Adelaide and the expertise they provide to the organisation.
Finally, I thank our team: our Chief Executive Liz Forsyth who we welcomed
to the CE role this year, and all the YWCA Adelaide staff who continue to
strengthen our organisation with great professionalism, energy, enthusiasm
and passion for the work that we do.
This is my last annual report as my three year term as President expires with
the Annual General Meeting in October 2014. It has been my privilege to
serve my full term as President of YWCA Adelaide and I have thoroughly
enjoyed my involvement with the Board, Chief Executive, staff and
members. The YWCA Adelaide is extremely well positioned for the future – a
future I look forward to remaining involved in as we continue to lead
change in our community through the leadership of women and girls by
supporting them during every step of their leadership journey.
