incorporating the Loddon Murray Community Leadership Program

BOARD & STAFF

CLLM Board of Management

To help oversee the running of the Loddon Murray Community Leadership Program, a Board of Management is elected from graduates of the program and interested members of the north central region community.

There are seven positions on the Board of Management each of which is a two-year tenure. Positions are open for nomination in December each year, with four positions offered one year, and three the next year to ensure a continuity of experience on the Board as well as the input of new ideas and ways of thinking.

This ensures the program continues to grow and meet the needs of the North Central region.

In 2010, the following people make up the LMCLP Board of Management:

Garry Holmes, Chairman (Harcourt North) - chair@lmclp.org.au

Kerri Hamilton, Vice-Chairman (Koondrook)

Wendy McAllister, Treasurer (Swan Hill)

Beth Taylor (Bendio)

Jo Haw (Durham Ox)

Warrick Clarke (Newstead)

Kristen Steers (Bendigo)
