His gifts and abilities have contributed to the strength of UnitingWorld as an agency of the Assembly, where we will appreciate his continued leadership.”
“I look forward to working with Rob, and to our collaboration across the whole Uniting Church,” said Colleen.
Rob will commence the new role in July 2017.
