Erin provided governance support to the board of a not for profit organisation on which I served. Erin provided valuable guidance and strategic advice, supporting the board to operate more effectively and building strategic capacity within the organisation. Erin is a pleasure to work with. The advice she provides is insightful and reflects her significant experience in governance matters, particularly in the not for profit sector.
Erin is delivering a national safeguarding assurance project for the Uniting Church in Australia. Her expertise in governance and assurance has been evident from the get go, as has her integrity and commitment to get the work done. Erin has the ability to translate the complex into the understandable and chart a way forward. I warmly recommend Erin as an expert in her field, and as a person who will take the time to ensure she helps your organisation understand the best approach to governance and assurance for you.
