9. SUMMARY OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE I have been active in corporate governance, project management and evaluation in community services since 1981 and internal audit since 1996. As a Board Director I have been active in the disability sector (e.g., Finding Workable Solutions Inc, Roger Melnyk Association). Most recently, I established the new position of CEO of the Australian Rehabilitation Providers’ Association (ARPA). As an active member in the main local professional associations the Australasian Evaluation Society (AES), Chartered Secretaries of Australia (CSA), Institute of Internal Auditors of Australia (IIA), Institute of Public Administration of Australia (IPAA), Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) I have been a key contributor &/or convenor of several local, national and international conferences. I have been the Vice-President and President, as well as Foundation Chair of the Committee on Ethics and Standards in Evaluation, and the Strategic Planning Committee of the AES, and more recently Editor of Reflections on Practice and general Editor for the Evaluation Journal of Australasia. The AES has recognized my contribution with its 2 highest awards: the ET&S Award (1992) and the title of Fellow (2003) – see http://www.aes.asn.au/about/fellows.html and selection as an Approved Trainer (May 2012 – present). Over 18 years as an academic teaching management (15 years as Associate Professor of Management), I have been Director of Studies of three graduate management programs in RMIT, and Flinders University, and foundation Director of Studies for the commercial Gibaran Business School. I was leader of the successful tender for the Consortium for the accreditation of the Public Sector Management Course (1995 – 2002). This Commonwealth and State funded program has approximately 700 students a year seeking accreditation around Australia. I was the coordinating Moderator who established the framework for the accreditation and assessment of this program, the biggest management education program in the public sector in Australia (see http://www.psmprogram.gov.au/). As an active contributor to community organizations for over 30 years, and in over 40 consultancies projects in the last 15 years, I have advised senior management of, or presented on behalf of, 50 organisations. For example, I set up the evaluation framework for the Commonwealth-State health and aged care Multi-Purpose Services; and led the team which wrote and piloted the outcomes measurement framework for the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program (SAAP), as well as the evaluation policy, framework and S.T.A.R.T. A Do-it-Yourself Evaluation Manual for the Board of the Australian Youth Foundation.
