The Stand Like Stone Foundation has added a familiars face to its team with former executive officer Georgie McKay being added to the board.<\/p>\n

Stand Like Stone Foundation CEO Roger Babolka said while Mrs McKay was not new to the foundation, it was a new role for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery importantly she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in the philanthropic sector to the foundation and I know all the board and staff are very pleased to have Georgie back in the fold,\u201d Mr Babolka said.<\/p>\n

Mrs McKay was executive officer of Stand Like Stone from 2012 to 2020, and over the eight years was at the helm of the organisation during a period of significant growth and increased impact across the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled to resume an official role with Stand Like Stone,\u201d Mrs McKay said. \u201cCommunity foundations are so important in rural and regional areas as they provide a funding resource that is guided and directed by people with firsthand knowledge of the local issues, as they live and work in the region\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Babolka said Mrs McKay was committed to the growth, renewal and sustainability of rural and regional communities and was a very active community member and volunteer, who has served on boards both in her local community and across Australia.<\/p>\n

Mrs McKay is also a member of Impact100 SA, the 2016 Recipient of the Australian Community Philanthropy Award for Excellence & Achievement and a former NonExecutive Director and Treasurer of Community Foundations Australia, the peak body for Community Foundations in Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cStand Like Stone does such exciting work and I am looking forward to working with the board to support Roger and the team to increase our impact and support across the Limestone Coast,\u201d Mrs McKay said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
