    General Board Member

    I have proudly called Tom Price home for nearly three years. During this time, my family has been fortunate to experience many of the wonderful services that Nintirri provides to our community, from the Mum and Bubs group to day care and beyond. I am deeply committed to giving back to the community that has supported us and to contributing my leadership and operational experience to help Nintirri continue running smoothly. My focus is to ensure the organisation not only maintains the high-quality services it already offers, but also evolves and improves based on the feedback and needs of town members
