Message From IWDA President

Dear Supporters and Friends of IWDA,

The work at IWDA with our sisters in the Asia Pacific Region, supported by our donors, is moving ahead very well as we enter the second half of 2010.  Next month we look forward to a very special event as Her Excellency Ms Quentin Bryce AC, Governor General of the Commonwealth of Australia hosts a reception to acknowledge IWDA’s 25th Birthday.  This will be a wonderful celebration and an opportunity to stop and reflect on our work over the decades and to look forward to new directions.

I wanted to let you know that our Executive Director Jane Sloane is leaving to take up an exciting new position and to be nearer her family.  Jane has been at the helm of IWDA for the past 3 years and her commitment and inspiration will be greatly missed.  You will be particularly aware of Jane’s sterling work with the formation of Australia’s very own Asia Pacific Breakthrough.  Here at IWDA we appreciate and will miss her dedication to every aspect of the ongoing work of a small and busy international NGO.  We wish Jane peace and joy in her time with her family and fulfilment and success in her challenging new position.  IWDA trusts Jane will stay a firm friend and supporter and looks forward to continuing to benefit from her unique gifts and wisdom.
