The Sisterhood Foundation is excited to share an important update to our leadership.
We’re thrilled to welcome Maia Ambegaokar, Sarah Davies AM and Edwina Sharrock OAM to our Board of Directors. Each brings a wealth of expertise and a deep commitment to our mission to build capability in frontline charities that deliver programs and create positive health outcomes in the lives of Australian women and girls.
Ms Ambegaokar brings specialised expertise in impact measurement, helping to ensure the Foundation continues to drive meaningful outcomes, Ms Davies offers deep not-for-profit leadership experience and a strong understanding of the philanthropic sector, and Ms Sharrock, a maternity nurse and successful entrepreneur based in Tamworth, brings valuable lived experience and a vital rural, remote and regional perspective to the board.
We also wish to acknowledge and sincerely thank our outgoing Board members Peter Sanguinetti, Jennifer King, and Nicky Long, whose contributions have shaped the Sisterhood Foundation’s evolution over the years.
Peter Sanguinetti has served on the board for 11 years and brought corporate knowledge and governance expertise as both Company Secretary and legal advisor. Jennifer King made a significant impact through her financial acumen, and Nicky Long brought vital insights from her experience working with charitable organisations, ensuring community voices remained central to the Foundation’s work.
Foundation Chair and Managing Director of Wesfarmers Health, Emily Amos, said: “This transition marks a new chapter for the Sisterhood Foundation as we continue to hear, acknowledge and address the unique health issues impacting Australian women and girls. I look forward to working with the Board and our Charity Partners to create a healthier future for all women”.
