Welcome Meg Richens!

12 Sep 2024 - by Liz Jakimow

The Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture offers a warm welcome to Meg Richens, who will be joining us as interim Executive Director for the next few months. Meg has worked previously as the Executive Officer of UnitingCare Kippax and as the senior consultant in her planning and evaluation business Simply Strategic. Her wealth of experience in leadership and strategic direction will be of immense benefit to the Centre as it prepares for the future. Meg has worked in the human services sector for over 40 year, in government, non-government and private sector organisations, at the local, state and national level. She represented Australia at the British Commonwealth Youth Program and the World Assembly of Youth and has consistently worked to promote social justice, equity and empowerment.

The Centre thanks Jonathan Cole for the work he has done as Interim Executive Director over the past 16 months. Jonathan's tireless, dedicated and professional work has provided the foundation for the Centre's future and we are grateful for the continuing effort he is making. Jonathan will be continuing his role as Director for the Centre for Religion, Ethics and Society and will be free to focus more on his research.
