Doug recently retired at age 70 as the CEO of SBcare after long years of dedicated service. In that role he always went above and beyond that of a paid employee. <\/p>\n<p>Doug was recognised by the Spinal Injuries Association with a Community Champion Award in their recent South Burnett awards. <\/p>\n<p>He has also been a Board Member &#8211; and most recently, President &#8211; of Links Community Services for 15 years. <\/p>\n<p>Doug sees the potential and ability in all people and helps create an inclusive environment for people to live and work in.

Despite losing some of her independence and often spending months confined to a wheelchair, she has managed to volunteer over 180 hours of her time to organise and deliver the Nanango Combined Churches Christmas Tree Festivals; made hundreds of wedding gowns, ball gowns and formal dresses for women in the community; maintained an active membership of the Nanango Lutheran Church; and functioned as the church\u2019s representative on the Nanango Ministers Fraternal, the Nanango Chaplaincy Committee and RE Co-ordinator at Nanango State School.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=100%>\n<tr>\n<td><img src=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/core\/spacer.gif\" WIDTH=1 height=10 border=0 alt=\"\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h3><strong><a name=\"bill\"><\/a>Bill Roberts &#8211; 2014 Winner<\/strong><\/h3>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/core\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"20\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">Putting Murgon firmly on the map &#8211; and not just in the South Burnett &#8211; is a defining theme of Bill Robert\u2019s lifelong service.
