Vice-Presidents Jean Black, John Short and Jane Teasdale, Members of Council, Ladies and Gentlemen I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Victorian Branch of the Royal Over-Seas League covering the activities for 2018.
During the year we welcomed 43 new members.
(Firstly the President read a letter to Sir Anthony Figgis following Lady Figgis’s death and his response.)
NEW DIRECTOR-GENERAL: We were delighted to welcome the appointment of Dr. Diana Owen as the new Director-General succeeding Major General Roddy Porter MBE who served in that capacity from 2011-2017 and visited Australia with his wife Marianne in 2013.
Dr. Owen brings extensive experience of working in the not-for-profit sector, with the National Trust, and for the last ten years, as Chief Executive of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust (SBT) in Stratford-upon-Avon, a global hub for Shakespeare fans everywhere. Vice-President Jean Black and Council Member Barbara Cummings recently met Dr. Owen in London.
