	The Annual Rotary Foundation Paul Harris Breakfast
	Nov 25, RACV Club, 17/501 Bourke St, Melbourne.
	Guest Speaker: CEO of Our Community - Rhonda Galbally AO
	Rhonda Galbally AO has focussed her life's work on making a difference for a more equitable society. A CEO for 25 years in the business, philanthropic and government sectors, Rhonda's leadership in finding effective solutions for social, health and economic development culminated in her establishing www.ourcommunity.com.au - a hub of resources, training and advice to help improve the operational and governance capacity of Australia's 700,000 community organisations in fundraising, grant seeking, governance, marketing and formation of partnerships with business and local, state and federal governments. Rhonda is also a member of the National Compact Expert Panel. Before developing Our Community, Rhonda established as the foundation Managing Director, the Australian International Health Institute - now the Nossal Institute in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Melbourne (1998). During this time as independent Chair Rhonda undertook the National Competition Policy Review of Drugs, Poisons, and Controlled Substances Legislation (2000). In 1988, Rhonda established, and for ten years was the foundation CEO of, the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth). In the mid eighties (1985-1988) Rhonda established the Australian Commission for the Future - establishing with CSIRO the first public education campaign into the impact of greenhouse emissions on climate change. She is a member of the advisory board of the State Trustee's Charitable Foundation. Rhonda has always been a strong advocate for a "rights" based approach to social justice; the stories from her decades of campaigning are strongly and humourously expressed in her 2004 published book by Pluto Press - Just Passions. As Chair of the National People with Disabilities and Carers Council, the Victoria Disability Advisory Council and the Royal Women's Hospital, and as Patron of Compassionate Friends, Rhonda believes that rights campaigns are now more important than ever.
