New Client Managers

 

Greatconnections would like to welcome 2 new Client Managers to the team - Pat Boyles and Sharon Coates.

 

Our Client Managers are our greatest asset and our secret weapon. They help our not-for-profit clients articulate their organisational needs, personally interview and match all our volunteers, oversee the project work done and manage all our relationships.

 

Pat Boyles is an experienced leader in development, raising funds, and managing change as chairman of a Foundation. She is a broad HR generalist with 20 years experience in large corporations in the US banking and finance sector and in small to medium enterprises in Australia.  Pat has had significant involvement in the successful appointment of key executives in education and government sectors.

 

Sharon Coates is the former CEO of a not-for-profit company charged with developing advice to and from industry to government on skills development and planning. Her other former senior executive positions have been with a national statutory policy and funding authority as well as state, regional and local level management in vocational education and training and adult community education. 

 

Welcome Pat and Sharon!!

 

Resignation of Valued Client Manager
 

 
 
The appointment of 2 new Client Managers comes as one of our most valued team members, Lynne Wenig, resigns as a Client Manager, to pursue more active mentoring with Greatconnections.
 
Lynne’s many clients have included Anchor, Kids Under Cover, Arthritis Vic, Volunteering Victoria, the Tenants Union and Spina Bifida Foundation. Her contribution to community, clients and Greatconnections has been immeasurable.
 
Thank you Lynne. We are very pleased that you are continuing your many mentoring roles with us!
