The Australian War Widows Inc. held their Annual General Meeting in October 2020. This Annual Meeting of the National Council is held in Canberra each year and the National Executive and State Presidents come together to discuss the year and their strategic plan for the future. Due to the pandemic and travel restrictions we met virtually via Zoom.
This year we said farewell to Mrs Meg Green – National President and Mrs Shirley Drysdale National Treasurer/Secretary. Meg and Shirley held their Executive roles for the full term of six years. The National Council thanked them both for their dedication to the organisation. Their work is greatly appreciated by all associated with the Australian War Widows Inc. We now take the next step into the future with our newly elected National Executive.
