Farewell Maree Shay

Maree began working with BBCCI in 2012 and played a significant role in growing our Community Enterprises into what it is today. She worked tirelessly to support our Karen brothers and sisters, helping create meaningful employment opportunities for many people who were vulnerable and marginalised.

Throughout her 14 years with us, Maree contributed to major organisational developments, including MADCOW becoming an NDIS accredited provider and expanding our services to include gardening and social support. She also navigated several relocations as our organisation grew from the church site to Hargreaves Street, Wellsford Drive, and finally back to Junortoun where we are now based.

Maree has been an important part of the growth and development of our Community Enterprises over many years. She recently commenced a period of long service leave and has decided that this is the right time for her to conclude her season with MADCOW and explore the next chapter of her career.

On behalf of the Board, staff and volunteers who have worked alongside Maree over many years, I want to express our gratitude for her dedication and service to MADCOW. We pray that the next chapter is fulfilling and filled with new opportunities.

I was privileged to attend the opening of the Homelessness Week Art Exhibition held at Dudley house.
Not only was I so chuffed to see some of our guests artwork, but I was inspired by the stories of hope that give us all a little lift.
