In 2024, I returned to the Toc H SA Board as Chair, continuing my lifelong commitment to the movement.
Passionate about the Four Points of the Compass—Friendship, Service, Fair-mindedness, and The Kingdom of God—I am focused on ensuring Toc H remains a force for good, both honouring its rich history and shaping its future. Through strong governance and strategic leadership, I work to uphold the values that have defined Toc H for generations, fostering an organisation that continues to make a meaningful impact in people’s lives.
