✨ Changing of the Guard at ABHDI ✨
Every four years, the ABHDI Executive Committee transitions to a new team of volunteers — a wonderful opportunity to welcome fresh ideas, while celebrating those who have guided us with dedication and care. 🌟
As we mark this change, we extend our sincerest thanks to the outgoing ABHDI Executive for their outstanding service to Highland Dancing in Australia. ✨
🌸 Stepping down from their roles are:
💫 Julie Thomas – President
💫 Justine Daly – Junior Vice President
💫 Kathy Ferguson – Assistant Secretary
💫 Karen McPhillips – Treasurer
These roles are entirely voluntary, and we are deeply grateful for the time, passion, and leadership each of you has given. Your contribution has strengthened the foundation of Highland Dancing across Australia — thank you for all you’ve done. 💐
We also warmly welcome the incoming ABHDI Executive:
🌿 President: Dianne Harrison
🌿 Senior Vice President: Maureen Fyffe (Ongoing)
🌿 Junior Vice President: Douglas McFarland
🌿 Secretary: Janene Simpson (Ongoing)
🌿 Assistant Secretary: Kerry Grosser
🌿 Treasurer: Trish Ghiradello
We’re excited for the next four years ahead — continuing to grow, connect, and celebrate our wonderful Highland Dancing community together. 💜
