Shepparton Foodshare have elected long-time board member Cheryl Hammer to step into the role of Chair, taking the reins from Jeremy Rensford, who has chaired the organisation for the past five years.
Jeremy will continue on the board alongside re-elected members: Jan Phillips, Russell Smith, Peter Thompson, Damien Wiloughby, Carolynne Frost, Seema Abdullah, Lyndon Galea, and Lauren Donnellan.
Jeremy congratulated Cheryl on her appointment and said he looks forward to continuing to work with her and other board members to continue to improve the organisation.
“My journey began by taking minutes for the establishment committee in 2011, and then culminated in my appointment as a founding board member in 2012. I look forward to staying on as Board Director for another productive and impactful year for our community,” he said.
Foodshare has also unveiled a new 30-plus-metre-long mural by local artist Tank, at its Mooroopna warehouse. The striking mural will serve as a visitor attraction and adds interest to an otherwise very large blank wall, which has been inspired by the community and stakeholders.
