I’ve been a member of AuSAE since…
2008 when I first received a copy of Third Sector magazine.
The most valuable thing about my AuSAE membership is…
Belonging to a professional group.
Before I was an association executive I was…
A British Army Officer working in over 30 countries and seeing active service in the Balkans, South Africa and Northern Ireland; then an Australian Army Officer seeing active service in East Timor.
I followed this with a spell in the corporate world with Vodafone and a web development company, before getting the opportunity to run Surf Life Saving at Sydney Northern Beaches.
If I wasn’t an association executive I would be…
An artist, if only I could paint; or a philosopher, if only I could write.
The thing that gets me out of bed every morning is…
My darling wife with a cup of tea.
My career highlight would have to be…
Graduating from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and coming home from active service.
I love working in this sector because…
Of the people who work in it.
The trouble with some associations is…
The members! (Whoops, should I have said that?)
As a manager it’s important to…
Understand the difference between management and leadership.
The relationship between CEO and board is…
A patient one with a voluntary board.
I am inspired by…
Nature, art and philosophy.
When I am not working you can find me…
At the beach in the surf.
