Alison has nearly 30 years’ experience in the not-for-profit sector working with organisations in a variety of sectors guiding major gift programs, capital campaigns, corporate partnerships, establishing bequest programs and bespoke appeals. With practical experience in rural, remote and metropolitan communities she has transitioned comfortably and effectively to South West Victoria having lived and worked in both. She is passionate about growing giving and excited to be engaging with our community here at Emmanuel College.

She understands the not-for-profit sector and that philanthropy is the catalyst that transforms ideas into action, ultimately resulting in impactful solutions for the communities they serve. For us here at Emmanuel College Warrnambool that means everything our college wants to accomplish tomorrow means we need to build on the great fundraising success we have enjoyed in the past.

Alison is also the Deputy Chair at Timboon and District Healthcare Service and President of the Courthouse Camperdown. With 4 grownup children, 3 grownup step-children, 6 grandchildren and a busy Chocolyn farm breeding beef cattle with her partner Leigh, life is very busy. But she says 'that is just how I like it'.
