Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It is with both regret and appreciation that after 8 years of admirable service with Relationship Matters, I announce Janet Jukes OAM departure as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of our organisation. Since 2014 Janet has played a critical role in the improvement, growth and success of our organisation, and while we will miss her leadership, we wish her the best of luck in her new endeavour as CEO of Refuge Victoria. Over the next few months, our Board will be undertaking a search to find a new CEO for Relationship Matters. During this transition period, it is our priority to find the best person to lead, while still maintaining a stable and effective organisation. We are appointing Ann Smith as the Acting/Interim CEO who will be working closely with the Board throughout this time. If have any questions or concerns during this transition process, please do not hesitate to reach out to Ann who will liaise with me and the Board. Janet’s resignation is effective July 1st, 2022. Again, we cannot thank Janet enough for her incredible commitment, passion, enthusiasm and motivation she has shown the Relationship Matters over the past 8 years. Her remarkable leadership and role modelling will be deeply missed by the staff, Board, members and partners alike. On behalf of everyone at Relationship Matters, I wish her success with all her future endeavours and activities in our sector. Yours sincerely, James McCarthy OAM
Chairperson
