Announcement of new Board + AGM & End of Year Members Sundowner
We’d like to thank all our members who joined us earlier this week for our AGM and End of Year Member Sundowner.
Uncle Trevor Stack provided a cleansing smoking ceremony and welcomed our guests. Hearing powerful speeches from all nominees followed by updates and reflections from our Co-Chairs Nolan Hunter and Debra Zanella and highlights from our CEO Jody Nunn, we ended the AGM looking towards our new strategic vision for 2025-2030. We look forward to sharing this in the new year. After the final votes were counted we welcomed our new Board Members, announced three new Life Members – Carol Innes AM, Gary Smith and Irina Cattalini, as well as congratulated our five and ten year Milestone Members.
We then moved out into the courtyard were the evening was filled with inspiring stories, laughs and meaningful connections with our Reconciliation community at our Member Sundowner.
We feel proud to share all the work Reconciliation WA has been able to accomplish over 2023/24 and we wouldn’t be able to do that without continued support and motivation from our members, allies and partners.
If you were unable to attend we would like to share a digital copy of the Reconciliation WA Annual Report 2023/24.
Welcome to our new Board Members!
During our AGM we heard from many incredible and driven nominees and we are proud to announce our six new Board Members.

We’d also like to thank and acknowledge our existing Board Members for all their work and support this past year including Co-Chair Debra Zanella, Rohan Collard, Kyra Galante and Helen Sadler. We now have great representation of many Aboriginal communities on our Board, ranging from the Kimberley, Goldfields, Mid West, South West and right down to the Great Southern.
Reconciliation WA acknowledges and pays tribute to the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation and their Elders past and present as the Traditional Custodians of the Country (Boodja) on which we work.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Western Australia and recognise their continuing and cultural connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respect to them, their cultures, and to Elders both past and present.
