Please tell us a little bit about yourself:
Chief executive (general manager) of a small rural local government. I lead a small administration and works crew that delivers services to a town and rural area that relies on sheep and wheat economically. We need more as we are ageing, shrinking in numbers and have low incomes and low property values. I am a CPA management accountant with MBA; professionally I am new to local government with past work in postal services (retail, finance), managing a training school and consulting to business. I am 54 and like to cycle early in the morning and love life.
