Staffing updates
There have been a number of changes to the Pegasus staffing structure of the last few months.
Last month, Pegasus was sorry to bid farewell to one of our much-loved coaches, Mary Lyons.
Mary resigned to pursue a slightly different path in education. While we wish Mary all the very best in her new endeavours, it is with great sadness that she goes. Over her nine years here at Pegasus, she has been an open book; learning and growing. She has gained her Level 1 Coach and Assessor qualifications, including her Certificate IV in Disabilities.
Pegasus hopes and expects that we will continue to see Mary; possibly on Saturdays, and school holidays, and of course her family at Pegasus events throughout the year.
We also farewell our Operations Manager, Trish Grice, who is taking up another opportunity in the Department of Education. While not with us for long, Trish has made a valuable contribution, notably ensuring our policies and procedures are top notch. We wish Trish all the very best in her future endeavours.
Our Volunteer Coordinator, Nicolle Erasmus, moved into the role of Community Engagement Manager, last month. These are exciting times and this role will expand our reach into the wider ACT community and will involve delivery of events such as Ride for Pegasus, Open Day and The Walking Clinic’s Pegasus Yowani Golf Day. Nicolle has already had success in securing a prized regular monthly Bunnings Fyshwick BBQ spot and has also established a new fundraising portal to make it easier for people to fundraise for Pegasus. Nicolle can be reached on her email, nicolle.erasmus@pegasusact.com.au or the office 6254 9190.
We are delighted to welcome Lauren Davies as the new Volunteer Coordinator. Lauren has extensive experience in volunteer coordination having worked with the Safe Pets Out There and RSPCA PAWS programs, which included screening, recruiting, inducting, training and coordinating volunteers. No doubt you will see or hear from Lauren in the near future. Please make yourself known to Lauren next time you are at Pegasus and she looks forward to getting to know you.
Lauren will be the “go-to” person for all things volunteering – e.g. rosters, availability and training.
Lauren’s hours are 9am-2pm (approx.), Tuesdays to Fridays. The best contact remains the volunteers@pegasusact.com.au email or call her on 6254 8790.

Fundraising Institute of Australia
|
Our very own PR Manager, Nikki, was successful in her application for a coveted 2017 Fundraising Institute of Australia's National Conference Scholarship!
Held in February, the annual Conference is an integral part of FIA's professional development education program and is the largest gathering of fundraisers in the southern hemisphere. It is designed to ensure that fundraisers get exposure of both core and up-to-date fundraising techniques, disciplines, trends and ideas. We're as proud as punch that Nikki was the FIA's chosen ACT Scholarship recipient. Nikki attended the Conference with colleague Nicolle - our Community Engagement Manager - and they returned with some great ideas for Pegasus. Well done Nikki and Nicolle and thank you, Strategic Grants and FIA! |
