After the family relocated from Sydney in 1990 Graeme was invited to join the Rotary Club of Griffith, District 9700. For a number of years he and his partner Lyn worked on the District Rotary Youth Exchange Program. The family hosted a number of students and their children participated in exchanges during that time. Graeme & Lyn escorted students to the USA and NZ and met with other District committees. Graeme was President of the Rotary Club of Griffith in its 50th Anniversary year. In 1995-6 he edited the District Governor’s Newsletter and was on the District Conference Committee.
The family moved to the Central Coast in 1999 and Graeme joined the Rotary Club of Kincumber, District 9680. He was President in 2003-4. Graeme has held most Board positions at his clubs. In District 9680 he has been a member of the Australian Rotary Health Committee (2002-10), Assistant Governor (2007-8 and 2009-10), DG Representative in the formation of the Rotary Club of Gosford City (2008), Community Service Chairman (2010) and Administration Director (2010-11).
Graeme has also had a long association with MUNA, more recently as Secretary-General on the Central Coast and a significant and ongoing involvement in the Rotarian Education and Training (RET ) Project through RAWCS in Timor Leste.
Graeme started work in the bank. After attending Macquarie University he worked as a secondary English and History teacher, Head Teacher and Leading Teacher. He became Principal of Griffith HS in 1992 and then Kincumber HS for over nine years. After retirement he was a project officer in the Trade Training in Schools Project and the Digital Education Revolution. He is a life member of the Secondary Principal’s Council of NSW. Lyn is also a Rotarian, originally in the Rotary Club of Griffith Central, and more recently, the Rotary Club of Terrigal. She has held a number of Director’s positions in both Clubs, been President in 2009-10, Chair of Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) 2009-10, Assistant Governor (2011-12) and International Chairman (2012-13). A passion is the RET Program, especially RYLA, in Timor Leste. Lyn retired as a primary School Principal and Special Educator in 2008.
Both Graeme & Lyn are Paul Harris Fellows and Centurions. Graeme is a member of the Paul Harris Society. Graeme and Lyn have been married for over 40 years. They have a wonderful family including two grandchildren. They enjoy a variety of interests including
boating, entertaining and reading. A major retirement interest is travel.
They are both very aware of the great challenges and opportunities that the new District 9685 brings. They look forward to meeting and working with all Rotarians, families and friends of Rotary this year.
