AGM
Amidst our ongoing journey of progress and dedication, we have some noteworthy news to share from our recent 2024 Annual General Meeting. We express our gratitude to Fiona McKenzie and Kim Fraser for their invaluable contributions as they step down from our board as chair and vice chair. We extend our heartfelt appreciation for their outstanding leadership.
In this period of transition, we are pleased to announce that Alan McDonald, already serving as our Treasurer, has assumed the role of Interim Chairperson and John Rose as vice chair. We warmly welcome them to this new position and eagerly anticipate their continued guidance as we strive to empower and support adults with disabilities.
With Alan’s and John’s leadership, we anticipate further growth and opportunity for Moray Reach Out and all those we serve.
