After more than a decade on the Board of Reconciliation Australia (RA), where he generously shared his unique perspectives from remote and regional Australia to progress the work of the national body, our Director, Kenny Bedford, has recently stepped down from his position there.
His final official roles as a Board Member were to take part in the closing panel of the National RAP conference in Brisbane in November and to address the VIP event as an Awards Judge at the Indigenous Governance Awards Gala Dinner.
He used these opportunities to share his gratitude for the experience, learnings and opportunities that have come with the role and acknowledged our support as his employer and as a RAP partner throughout his RA Board contribution.
"One of the biggest contributions My Pathway has made as a RAP partner has been the support to develop my leadership roles including my service on the Boards of RA and My Pathway, as well as my community advocacy and representative roles more widely. I am also grateful to My Pathway for their encouragement and support for me to complete my Masters in the true spirit of our organisational commitment to Developing, Connecting and Growing."
Kenny's retirement from the RA Board coincided with the successful completion his Masters of Indigenous Business Leadership at Monash University. He will officially be awarded his Masters at a graduation ceremony in 2025.
We respect, acknowledge and celebrate these achievements by our Director and wish Kenny a well-deserved break with his family over the Christmas holiday period.
