At our 2020 Annual General Meeting, MDAS members put us on a new course and set new challenges for our future.
We had 137 members take part, both in person at Mildura, Robinvale, Swan Hill and Kerang and online on Zoom. It was one of the biggest attendances at a MDAS AGM ever.
Our membership voted for change at the board table and we are pleased and proud to welcome our new MDAS board members.
Congratulations to all of the courageous and committed MDAS members who put up their hands to seek election. In their own way, each and every one of them is truly committed to the vision: Generations of vibrant, healthy and strong Aboriginal communities.
At our May 2021 Board meeting three additional board members were appointed to join the MDAS board as Directors until the 2021 AGM in November. They are Thelma Chilly, Shantelle Thompson and Jemmes Handy.
We now have a full complement of Board members.
We look forward to working strongly together towards our vision across our Mallee communities over coming months and years.
