The CLCQ Management Committee is pleased to share an important and positive update with our members and stakeholders.
To support Rosslyn Monro's planned transition to retirement over the next two years, the Management Committee has decided to introduce a time-limited co-Directorship model.
We are delighted to announce that Penny Sullivan has been appointed as co-Director alongside Rosslyn, and we warmly congratulate Penny on this appointment.
This transition has been carefully designed to ensure continuity, stability and confidence across CLCQ’s work. Rosslyn and Penny will work together to share leadership responsibilities, maintain strong organisational oversight and support a thoughtful handover of knowledge, relationships and responsibilities over the transition period.
For members and external stakeholders, we do not anticipate any disruption to CLCQ’s services, advocacy, partnerships or day-to-day engagement. The purpose of this arrangement is to protect organisational continuity while also supporting strong succession planning for the Director role.
We recognise and deeply value Rosslyn’s leadership and contribution to CLCQ, and this transition provides an opportunity to honour that contribution while preparing the organisation for the future. We are also very pleased to welcome Penny into this shared leadership role and look forward to the experience, care and commitment she will bring to the position.
The Management Committee is confident that this co-Directorship will provide a steady and supportive pathway through the next two years, with no loss of focus on CLCQ’s purpose, values or commitment to our members and the communities we collectively serve.
Elizabeth Behrend, President
