Annual General Meeting Held

Our AGM was held on Saturday 24 May. It was an opportunity to reflect on the Association’s many achievements in 2022 including continued growth and also an opportunity to acknowledge those lost to MND.

We heard stories of two individuals that MND Queensland have supported leading to improved quality of life. MND Research Australia (MNDRA) Executive Director, Gethin Thomas spoke about the research currently underway in Queensland and we were very impressed to learn that Queensland receives 30-50% of MNDRA’s research grants which is recognition of the quality of our researchers and projects they are undertaking.

The Charles Graham award was presented to Maureen Stevenson for her long term and extremely generous financial support with total donations exceeding $100,000.

We said goodbye to Management Committee members Carol Hope and Michelle Prado – both of whom have contributed significantly to MND Queensland in their time on the Committee.

Vice President Elyse Maberly, Secretary Julia Rollston and Ordinary member Keith Malpress nominated for another two year term and were all appointed unopposed.

We wrapped up with some lovely comments from our members and Vice Patron Robert Henderson about the value of the organisation, acknowledgement of the efforts of the staff and recognition of the quality of the services we provide.
