B’nai B’rith Courage to Care’s change of leadership in Victoria
Dr Tony Weldon stepped down as Chair of B’nai B’rith Courage to Care (Vic.)at its recent Annual General Meeting where the organisation celebrated its 30th anniversary.
Vice Chair Kerryn Lowe and Chair Judy Glick
It marks 17 years of Dr Weldon as Chair.
Former Vice Chair Judy Glick has been elected as Chair, and committee member Kerryn Lowe was elected as Vice Chair.
Dr Tony Weldon said: “When I, rather reluctantly, took on the Chairmanship of B’nai B’rith Courage to Care (Vic.) Inc. in 2005 it was because I was concerned that the potential was there for the organisation to implode, and not survive. I was determined to do my best to ensure that this did not happen. Looking back, I am proud of what we have all achieved together. Our current Committee of Management consists of a number of very talented individuals each of whom brings particular skills to this organisation. I am therefore very confident that despite this change in leadership, Courage to Care will grow and develop further and become increasingly effective in its endeavours over the next 30 years.”
