NDS Division State Committee Elections – Please Vote!
Windgap’s CEO, Andrew Anderson, is honoured to be a candidate for the New South Wales NDS State Committee.
Why is this election so important?
This State Committee of NDS represents our collective interests to maintain a strong and sustainable disability sector for both now and the future.
To achieve these outcomes requires the strong, connected and trusted voice the NDS provides for each of its local members.
Andrew’s representation on the NDS State Committee will help lead and contribute to the collective experience of committee members, providing industry knowledge, community networks and support to ensure successful outcomes for our participants, providers and the NDS.
As the challenges and opportunities for this sector evolve, Andrew’s focus is on solutions to innovate services, grow inclusion networks, and provide ongoing capacity building to disability workforces - while achieving the commercial practicalities of sustainable funding and growth.
If you are an NDS voting member, please take the opportunity to vote in this important election. Andrew would appreciate your consideration as a NSW NDS Committee Member.
Many thanks.
