SHERRI Smith-Hoyer has worked in the education, health and agriculture sectors, and understands how vital they are to Greater Shepparton, which is why she is running in the Goulburn River Ward in the upcoming council election.
“I genuinely care about people and the social determinants that impact their overall health and wellbeing. I am passionate about community, agriculture, and regional prosperity. I am determined to find solutions for the issues we face now for a thriving future. I have the skillset, experience, and ability to listen and translate to others what is important to the community,” said Sherri.
Sherri’s experience includes leadership roles with all levels of government including education, health, IT and agriculture sectors. It is through this experience she has seen housing and homelessness, equitable prosperity, and the poor condition of local roads as the biggest issues in the region.
“I have career experience and expertise in areas of service development, finance, strategic planning and decision-making. These skills align well with the duties of a councillor. Complimented by an understanding of public health and the social determinants that contribute to our socio-economic index.
“I’m an active volunteer as a committee member on the Greater Shepparton Public Health Advisory Committee, Murchison Neighbourhood House and Historical Society. I instigated, coordinated, and co-chaired the Dhurringile Prison Community meeting held in August this year. These experiences have deepened my understanding of our community.”
