18.01.2022 Voices of Women would like to sincerely thank Sue and Viv for their tremendous efforts over the last 5 years. Sue and Viv have recently decided to step back from their roles as President and Secretary of the committee. Their significant leadership, volunteer effort and willingness to take women's advocacy to the next level has enabled our work in democracy and mentoring to reach the place it is now. They will be continuing their wonderful contribution to community life and women through new roles in Victoria's north. You will always be welcome in the Yarra Ranges Sue and Viv!
