We are pleased to officially welcome two new board members to Pride Foundation Australia, Mollie Hewitt and Ayan Dasvarma. After a successful call for new board member applications earlier this year, we were thrilled to receive a number of applicants with experience that complemented and added to the work currently being undertaken by PFA.
We are excited for the fresh perspective Mollie and Ayan have already brought to the board and believe they will both make wonderful additions. Read on to learn more about our new members, and head to the PFA Our Team page to read their full bio.
