Over the last 20 years, Barbara-Anne has held a number of senior management roles that have enabled her to establish and manage IT programs in Mining and Energy organizations in Australia, USA, Southern Africa, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.  She is currently a Programme Director with Queensland (Australia) State Government.  Barbara-Anne's experiences have enabled her to gain a unique perspective on what technologies and assistance programmes are appropriate to enable improvements in communities across a wide spectrum of traditions, customs and religious practices.

When asked about her vision for CEN, she responds:

"I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to improve and progress their personal and professional circumstances. However, to achieve that objective I believe all aid and assistance programmes:

• Need to encourage and promote self reliance and confidence in participants;
• Need to ensure the technologies and opportunites are appropriate for the geographic region and cultural background of the participants;
• Need to have a personal connection to all participants. Donors, participants, carers and teachers all need to be able to identify with the aims and objectives of the programme;
• Need to demonstrate good governance and financial management practices to ensure all participants have faith and confidence in the participants administering the programme."

Barbara-Anne joins CEN from Australia.
