The Ausdance National Council and network directors met for four days in Canberra last weekend, and elected a new National Executive at its Annual General Meeting.
Independent artists Brian Lucas (Qld) and Claudia Alessi (WA) were elected President and Vice-President respectively, and Marilyn Miller joined the executive as the second Vice-President. Marilyn is a highly respected Indigenous choreographer and director, and has worked for many years with Ausdance, most recently as director of the Treading the Pathways (now BlakDance) project.
Susan Street stepped down as President after six years at the helm, but will remain on the executive as Immediate Past President until the end of this year. Sue has led the organisation with great vision, energy and wisdom, and she was invited to stay on to provide continuity in this year of transition for the organisation.
