Mary Anne Loveridge

- I am volunteering to be on Council to continue to foster the positive and collaborative working relationship between clubs and Bridge NSW that was fundamental to us achieving the change that has created Bridge NSW and essential for our future success.
- I believe the Council will be an effective forum to learn from each other and find solutions to some of the strategic challenges facing Bridge – a process that should guide where our limited resources are best invested. I am very keen to be part of the process and contribute where I can.
