Stephen De SedeAnnie Gibbins is simply collecting her story and being a powerhouse with it. Leadership by example. Character as her title. Focus: a single-mindedness to raise others. Her ability as a speaker to move an audience; a mentor to inspire you to act, is why this honour is mine.
Myles Hume, Group Managing Editor, Prime Creative MediaHer results speak for themselves, helping transform and modernise Glaucoma Australia into an organisation that is truly serving Australians with glaucoma, at scale. Also, who else could land the Governor-General (Patron) and an INXS band member (Ambassador) as formal advocates?
Simon Skalicky, President, Glaucoma Australia (2019–2021)I was always thoroughly impressed by her professionalism, work ethic and ability to achieve great things through that role. She worked well within the team she built around her and achieved incredible things for Glaucoma Australia.
