25.01.2022 Today we farewell Carol Webb, one of our current QOF Governors and former QOF Chair, who passed away on the weekend after fighting an extended battle with illness. Carol has been an enormously passionate advocate for vocational education and training in Queensland, and her contribution to QOF will be sorely missed. On behalf of the board, alumni and everyone associated with QOF, we extend our sincere thoughts and condolences to her friends and family at this time.
