QCWA Annual Report 2018-2019

The Queensland Country Women’s Association • Annual Report 2018–2019

May and June proved to be productive, tiring and enjoyable, with the Southern Region Conference, State Executive Board meeting, Non-Conference Council in Cairns and Northern Region Conference in Atherton on the agenda. My husband was pleased to have me home for two weeks before the year ended! Within the region I have visited Coolangatta and Ipswich Branches, Warrego and Darling Downs Divisions for training days and Western, Border and West Moreton Division meetings. In the coming year I intend to visit every division in the region and attend as many events as I possibly can. Thank-you to all the Division Presidents within the region for your assistance and friendship. The role is made enjoyable with your support and the support of all members. Thanks must go to all the members of the State Executive Board for your dedication to our Association and the assistance you have given me over the eight months I have been a part of the board. To Mrs Marie Baulch, who has completed her four years in the Northern Region State Vice-President role, I thank you for your service and your guidance and advice to me. You have made my role easier.

On 8 March, Maria and I attended the Gold Coast Women of the Year function. We met some amazing women who are helping within their community in various ways. Mrs Amanda Ramsay was one of the nominees and she attended our Southern Region Conference as a guest speaker, explaining how she empowers women over 40. I was honoured to also have some time with Katie Page during that afternoon. I have attended training days with State President Christine King in Toowoomba and Charleville. Due to both family and other commitments, I could not attend the other two meetings held within our region: Brisbane and Roma.
