CHAIRPERSON and NORTHERN QLD REP

~ Betty McLellan ~

Betty is a feminist psychotherapist living in Townsville. While her own particular interest is in women's mental and emotional health, she is passionate about all areas of women's health. She believes that women's physical and emotional ill-health are linked to the degree of oppression women experience in a male-dominated and male-focused society and that women become healthier as we understand, confront and reject oppression. She was a core member of the Steering Committee of the Townsville International Women's Conference (July 2002), was invited to speak at the "National Curriculum Development Forum for the Elimination of Racism and Promotion of Cultural Harmony" in Sydney recently, was keynote speaker at the "Peace, Conflict Resolution and Development” conference in India (October 2003) and is also the author of three books, with a fourth on the way. The knowledge and dedication she brings with her in her role as Chairperson of the Network in invaluable. She has proven to be a great asset with her representation on behalf of the Network at a variety of events over the last twelve months. To contact Betty click here.

COORDINATOR

~ Maree Hawken ~

Maree is based in Townsville, North Queensland. She has worked in the education, commercial art, and publishing sectors both in Australia and the USA. She has always been a feminist and can't recall a time when women's issues have not been at the forefront of her thinking, which is why she is very pleased to be part of QWHN. She has recently completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Women's Studies at James Cook University. This formal education has been greatly enhanced and deepened 'on-the-job' by regular contact with the many generous and inspirational women working in the sector, including the Committee Members of the QWHN.
