Honouring Our Directors and Welcoming New Leadership at the Upper Lachlan Foundation
On Tuesday 18th March 2025, the Upper Lachlan Foundation (ULF) hosted its Annual General Meeting at the CWA Rooms, attended by 20 members for what was a transitional meeting for the ULF. Members were presented with reports from the Board and financial information for the year ending 30th September 2024. The ULF proudly distributed $53,702 into the community in 2024 via their open fund & well-being grant funding programs bringing the total support to the community since inception in 2011 to $401,032.
The ULF would like to thank and recognise the significant contributions of Directors Charlie Prell and Chris Croker, who resigned from the board during the meeting. Their dedication has been instrumental to the ULF’s success. As founding members of the ULF steering committee, Charlie and Chris helped establish the ULF with 9 other like minded community members, and their commitment to the ULF’s mission has supported countless initiatives and partnerships, ensuring the ULF’s growth and relevance in the community. As they step down, we express our gratitude for their service and wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
In a time of transition, we are pleased to announce, standing Director Ben Carter was elected as the new President following Chris Croker’s resignation. The ULF welcomes Ben with confidence, knowing that his experience and leadership will bring fresh perspectives.
Ben has a long history with the ULF, having been part of the original steering committee and serving as the ULF’s inaugural President. After ten years of work that took him interstate, Ben has permanently returned to the shire. In 2023, he was re-elected to the board, bringing a renewed commitment to the growth of the ULF and the community.
ULF is also excited to welcome to the Board - Nadia Lindop as the new Secretary/Director and Amanda Woods as a Director. Nadia and Amanda have a wealth of knowledge and are eager to volunteer their skills for our community. The ULF looks forward to their contributions and are grateful for their willingness to serve.
