Robyn Brazier resigns and Rita Siow responds on AGDA's behalf

26th February, 2007

Dear AGDA

After 17 years of 'mothering' both AGDA NSW and 16 years of 'mothering' AGDA National, I have decided to resign both positions to concentrate on 'mothering' my husband, Ian, who is battling with cancer of the liver.

My major concern is of course Ian, so I feel it only fair to hand over the reins to somebody who can give AGDA their full attention as I have done up until now.

I've thoroughly enjoyed working with the many councils over the years and have made many friends who I'm sure will keep me up to date with all the news.

My last day will be Friday, 20th April so I look forward to catching up with some of you at the coming functions.

Kind regards
Robyn Brazier

Seventeen years is pretty close to the life span of AGDA thus far.

And to have Robyn Brazier's dedication all these years to the wellbeing of every member and facet of the AGDA organization has been a luxury and a blessing.

We are all indebted to her immeasurable contribution to more than 'mothering' the National and NSW Secretariats.

Over the past twelve months, both National Council and NSW Council have been aware of the enormous effort Robyn has made to ensure her commitment to AGDA is fulfilled.

Under the circumstances, her decision is understandable and has been reluctantly accepted.

Our love, hopes and best wishes go to Robyn and Ian during this challenging period.

Rita Siow
AGDA General Manager
