For more than three decades, Christine has contributed her time, leadership and energy to an extraordinary range of organisations spanning sport, aged care, education, community events, facilities management, churches and local governance. She has held numerous executive roles including President, Secretary and Treasurer, alongside hands‑on operational roles that keep organisations running day to day.
Christine is a Life Member of several organisations and served the Meander Hall Committee for over 30 years as Secretary/Treasurer, continuing today as caretaker.
