ADEA Board meeting in Sydney: Determining long-term strategic goals

The ADEA Board met this month with the ADEA Management Team in Sydney for two days of training, strategic planning and a Board meeting.  

The first day’s session began with a training session focused on values and how the Board and management work together as a team and as individuals. Zoe Routh, a leadership expert and trainer, led a workshop guiding the Board in determining the long-term strategic goals for ADEA.

‘It’s always good to meet with the Board, but this was a particularly exciting session in which we envisioned the future of ADEA and all of the ways we can grow as an organisation and serve our members in the years to come,’ said Susan Davidson, ADEA CEO.

‘Our strategic goals will improve the lives of people living with diabetes, supporting them to access the vital diabetes education and care that our members provide,’ said Rachel Freeman, Manager of Professional Services and Education.

While the ADEA Board meets regularly, the entire ADEA Management Team is not always present. However, during this meeting, the Management Team was invited to present on ADEA’s strategic projects, such as the Pathways, CDE Education Review Project, the Diabetes Workforce Report and regular ongoing work.

‘It was my first opportunity to meet the Board in person, and it was really energising to witness the passionate leadership with which they guide ADEA and support our membership,’ said Melanie Gray Morris, Manager of Policy, Advocacy and Communications.

Tony Stubbs, ADEA COO summed up the sentiment after the meeting by stating, ‘It was great to be at this meeting with such a strong strategic focus, not only on the medium term but where ADEA wants to be in 20 years and what we need to do to get there. It is always exciting to see what is possible.’

The ADEA Board is very excited to finalise the long-term strategic goals and share them with all of our members soon.
