I have been a member of Rotary for the past 26 years, in four countries and cities. They are Seoul, Korea; Shanghai, China; Bangkok, Thailand and in my present club the Rotary Club of Port Nicholson, Wellington, NZ. I am presently an Area Governor in Wellington and have served in this position for four years. Prior to that I was President of the Port Nicholson Club in 2019/20.

This broad multi-cultural experience, and my work background, has provided me with a set of skills that I can employ to assist and support clubs.

My professional experience lecturing at Swinburne University and private practice in grief, trauma and loss counselling plus my vast volunteer work with people of all backgrounds and diversity has provided me with the ability to talk and work with anyone in a non-judgemental way, with empathy and practicality. The experience I have gained working with people from our CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse) communities provides me with enormous respect and need to assist our new Australians to understand and be part of the prevention of family abuse.

See website: http://www.rotarysafefamilies.org.au/ All resources and films are theoretically based and endorsed by Rotary Australia and are the basis for Rotary's commitment to primary prevention of family violence to anyone, anywhere, anytime.

• Membership retention and wellbeing • Project evaluation • Club governing documents (constitutions and bylaws)
✓ English
Volunteering, and the opportunity to contribute to their communities, are touted as some of the main reasons people join, and remain, in Rotary. Why is it then that some Rotary club members enthusiastically volunteer for every project while others rarely, or never, do? I believe the secret to motivating busy Rotary members lies in focusing your efforts, proactively articulating expectations, seeking and valuing feedback, encouraging excitement and interest in the anticipated impact, prioritizing legislation, especially with social enterprises, and publicly recognizing even small progress. I have tertiary qualifications in strategic leadership and human resource management plus extensive senior management work experience within 24/7 not-for-profit healthcare services that have utilized large numbers of volunteers. I am therefore able to assist Rotary clubs in introducing effective volunteer management policies, procedures, and processes that will improve project participation, minimize potential risk, and still achieve worthwhile results.

I have Degrees in Economics and Law from Sydney University (1977/78) and was admitted as a Solicitor in December 1979, practicing from February 1980 to 1984. I then transferred to being a Barrister in February 1984 and have practiced continuously over the last 40 years primarily in the personal injury field, particularly workers compensation, including insurance issues. Relevant to legal, administrative, youth exchange and protection matters, I served as District 9685 Administration Advisor 2008-10; Governor 2012/13; Youth Exchange Chair 2014-18; and Council on Legislation Delegate in 2016. I have been a member of the National Insurance Committee from 2014 – 2018 and 2022 to date;. I have provided draft Club Constitutions and Bylaws to many Clubs since 2010; drafted new District Bylaws in 2012; and drafted amendments to the Probus South Pacific Constitution in 2013. I was pleased to play a part in the substantial changes made at the Council of Legislation in 2016 regarding membership and attendance. As a member of the National Insurance Committee over many years (currently Chair), I have been involved in many aspects of insurance and risk management. I see Youth Protection as an essential part of Rotary Service, enabling us to carry out our numerous Youth programs and enabling us to have appropriate insurance cover. With the combination of legal, insurance and youth exchange experience, I hope to assist Clubs in those areas.

• Youth Program(s): Vulnerable persons protection •
✓ English
As an Anglican Priest I have been subject to a rigorous regime of both professional standards scrutiny and ministry suitability checks for over thirty years, and I believe that this background not only equips me to offer advice and guidance on protection matters but also attests my credentials to act as a protection officer for Rotary/D9510. I see the position first as one of equipping Rotary club officers with basic protection knowledge, but primarily as being a resource providing reliable and timely information and support in all matters protection, including club level training and visits. I am available most of the time and have publicly committed to chasing up queries and unknowns if I don’t happen to have ready answers. In this way I hope to instil confidence in clubs and club officers and so provide a useful and dependable protection response to whoever might contact me.

I particularly seek to be a part of the solution to reversing declining membership numbers across Zone 8 through the creation of highly visible community projects which attract community appreciation, and hence enhance the desire for people to become Rotarians. I feel I bring to the table both business leadership skills, and a reasonable understanding of how the District structure model has both been successful and unsuccessful. Raising the profile of Rotary is a huge part of future success. We have a lot of great stories to tell/sell.

I joined Rotary in 2007 after hosting a young boy who came to Australia for heart surgery. In Rotary I immediately became involved in RAWCS as I had already been travelling overseas doing International development work and humanitarian service projects. In 2010 I established a charitable foundation, Pink Umbrella Foundation to provide governance and funding to the international development work. Currently I am the RAWCS Eastern Region Project Coordinator. I ensure RAWCS project managers met governance requirements for the tax deductible status RAWCS has. I am aware of criteria of working in developing countries having established a charitable foundation. I travel regularly overseas to various countries, working on sustainable development projects. Part of my role in RAWCS is supporting Rotarians working in developing countries and keeping them across regulations from our government.
