Kayeleen Brown will lead Katungul into the future after extensive experience working in senior positions in Government, non-for-profit, Indigenous organisations like YWCA Australia, South Coast Aboriginal Medical Service, and Carers NSW.
Kayeleen is a proud Yuin Walbunja and Bundjalung Koori woman from NSW who has actively been involved in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community for more than 30 years.
In 2009, she was privileged to represent Indigenous Youth at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Affairs in New York.
She said she was keen to relocate back to the South Coast to be close to family and live on her traditional lands.
"My passion is to create economic development, access and opportunities for communities, in particular my people, and improve the health and wellbeing of individuals, families, and communities," she said.
"I am eager to support the needs and aspirations of the South Coast community in this new role."
Ms Brown will commence her role with Katungul on Monday, May 24, as a replacement for Joanne Grant who led Katungul for two years prior to her resignation.
"I thank Joanne for her leadership and congratulate her on the achievements of Katungul during her appointment," Ms Brown said.
"I thank her for the support and guidance she showed as our community faced unprecedented hardship over the past two years."
