Board of Directors

Patience Hailey, President

Started  May 2019

Why is she on the Board? At first, it was to grow numbers on the Board. Then I found I was able to contribute to the Board, Community House and the community through my involvement.

Pat Young, Vice President

Started 2010/11

Why is she on the Board? When I first joined the Board I was a committee member helping Ray Bartells coordinate our bus from 2005 to his passing in 2009. I then was asked to come on the Board. This was a good opportunity to see how Community Houses operated the purpose of the Houses in low-income areas around Tasmania and how they changed to stay in touch with the community.

Ross Watson, Treasurer

Started July 2020

Why is he on the Board? Having retired and moved to Scottsdale I wanted to continue my involvement in the not-for-profit sector. Dorset Community House was advertising for volunteers, so I applied. I was surprised, but delighted, to accept an invitation to join the Committee. My hope is that my past experiences can be of assistance in helping Dorset Community House to meet its objectives as it moves forward.

Why is he on the Board? To contribute to the great service and network hub that the Community House provides.

Denise Young, Board Member
