Volunteering has always been at the forefront of Evelyn’s life from “Cents for Service” as a young Girl Guide, to raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for a new library at her local school, over 20 years as the Team Leader of her local Community Fire Unit and now as an Australian Business Volunteer. With ABV, Evelyn has mentored emerging women leaders in both Tonga and Solomon Islands and has played a role in the Strategic Roadmap for the business community of Nauru. With close to 40 years of management consulting experience, the last 15 as the Managing Director of Learning Ventures, Evelyn understands the commercial realities of business and can now combine these with her love of volunteering to nurture and coach other business communities to be resilient and successful. Evelyn is the volunteer representative on the ABV Board.
