The Healing Foundation would like to express its heartfelt gratitude to board members Aden Ridgeway and Nigel Browne as they embark on exciting new opportunities.

Aden, a Gumbaynggirr man, has served with us for 10 years and will continue his incredible community work as the NSW Treaty Commissioner.

Nigel, a descendant of the Larrakia and Wulna peoples, has just been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Aboriginal Investment NT after three years of service on the Board.

“We want to sincerely thank Aden and Nigel for their significant contributions during their time on The Healing Foundation’s Board. Their wisdom, strategic insights, collegiality, and leadership have been invaluable, leaving a lasting impact on our organisation. We will certainly miss them,” said Professor Steve Larkin, The Healing Foundation Board Chair.

Please join us in wishing Aden and Nigel the best in their future endeavours. We are grateful for the time, talent, and dedication they have shared with us, and we look forward to seeing the wonderful achievements in their next pursuits.
