After six years presiding over the care of terminally-ill patients Helen Hunter has joined Volunteering Geelong as its new chief executive officer.
Ms Hunter oversaw 70 volunteers providing respite and care at Anam Cara House as the organisation’s CEO.
“The people of Geelong are renowned for their generous contributions to the community and commitment to giving back to others,” she said.
Ms Hunter had volunteered at several events after work and for the past four years with Geelong Central Rotary Club, she said.
“Having been a volunteer myself as well as working with other volunteers, I am keen to see Volunteering Geelong grow and become a cornerstone organisation in the region’s not-for-profit sector.”
Volunteering Geelong president Anthony Aitken welcomed Ms Hunter to the organisation during an announcement last Thursday.
“Helen joins Volunteering Geelong at an exciting time as we work toward launching our new fundraising foundation,” he said.
“Volunteering Geelong has established a solid footing in Geelong and we look forward to Helen helping us lead the organisation and its members during the next, important steps in our development.”
Mr Aitken encouraged those interested in Volunteering Geelong’s projects and programs to visit www.volunteeringgeelong.org.au
