A morning tea was held in Cherbourg on Wednesday to welcome the new CEO of the Cherbourg Regional Aboriginal & Islander Community Controlled Health Services (better known as CRAICCHS).
It provided an opportunity for community members and representatives from other local organisations to meet the new CEO, Jessica Scott, as well as CRAICCHS directors.
CRAICCHS chair Uncle Les Stewart did the Welcome to Country and shared the history of the organisation.
Ms Scott introduced herself as a proud Narungga woman and shared her background in the industry, work in other communities and what led her to CRAICCHS.
