29th January 2025
We recently held our Annual General Meeting, where we welcomed two new board members, Karen Ryan and Sean Brady, and officially launched our latest strategic plan.
Reflecting on the occasion, our Chairperson, Sonya Murray, shared:
“This year marks our 21st anniversary in Westport. Much has changed in the town and in the country over this period. We seek to keep ourselves up to date with the changing needs in our community and the need for different responses by regularly engaging in review and planning processes. We are excited to launch our new strategic plan based on extensive community consultation. We hope this plan will guide us in our work over the next three years, underpinned by core community development values.”
As we step into 2025, we acknowledge that the preceding year brought many changes to our staff team and programming. We look forward to the months ahead with a fresh perspective and a strong commitment to community development and fostering connection for all.
We also want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our outgoing board members—Judy Casey, Patrick English, Sue Hynes, and Mary O’Malley-Graham—for their dedication and contributions over the years. Their support has been invaluable, and we sincerely appreciate the time and effort they have given to the centre.
