Sharon Winks: Chief Barker / Chairman

It is with pleasure that I am taking on the role of Chief Barker at Variety NT for the coming two years.

Having moved to the Territory about 5 years ago, getting involved in a charity such as Variety provided a wonderful way to support our local community, as well as get to know a fantastic group of people from all walks of life. Over the last few years I have been a Board member, Vice Chair as well as Bash Chair and am continually getting involved in more and more wonderful activities that Variety NT run. Over the next year I will continue as Bash Chair as well as Chief Barker and know it will keep me busy!!!!!  Importantly, it has been my pleasure to see the continued support provided by Variety NT to our special needs children and their families and how it makes their life so much easier.

I am fortunate to have the support of my wonderful husband who also volunteers on the Bash and assists in whatever way he can at every event.  I work in Darwin on a range of projects in a management consulting capacity which provides me with much needed flexibility in my working hours. The balance between my consulting work and the volunteering has been very rewarding.
