A little more about some of our Directors:
Verena Maclean
Verena was elected to our board in 2015 and brings a human relations and community eye to board decisions. She is a member of AICD and brings 20+ years consulting experience in requisite organisation, organisational development, capability building, work complexity and effectiveness across all sectors and industries.
Gina Price
At the last board election there was a strong consensus about the value that Gina brings as an Independent director. Gina Price was originally nominated for a variety of reasons one of which is her skills in sociocracy. The insights that she brings to the Board is invaluable and her commitment is shown by the hours of work she puts in to help us develop a robust sociocratically focused governance framework. Gina teleconferences into our board meetings from Western Australia each month.
