New CEO for Legacy in SA and Broken Hill
|
| | | | The President of Legacy Club of Adelaide, Mr Jim Parkins, announced on 21 May 2010 that Rainer Jozeps had
been appointed CEO of the 87 year old welfare organisation.
For Jozeps, who was previously Chief Executive of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, and has a wealth
of experience in the management of cultural organisations in Australia, it is an opportunity to support those widows and families whose lives have been directly affected by war or the various peace-keeping duties performed by Australian Defence Forces personnel.
"Generally war doesn't touch Australians in their everyday lives, but it's not well known that in South Australia
& Broken Hill there are some 10,500 widows and dependants, whose lives have been directly affected through the death of a veteran, or a service man or woman while on military duty for Australia. Legacy is one of the wonderful agencies that take lifelong responsiblity to help
those in need as a result of that service", he said.

these freedoms are available to us because of the sacrifice and hardships endured by numerous military families. I'm really keen to apply my skills to help those entitled to support through Legacy", said Jozeps.
His Excellency, Rear Admiral Kevin Scare AC CSC RANR, Governor of South Australia and Patron of Adelaide
Legacy was pleased to learn of Jozeps' appointment. "I think Rainer's flair for organisational management and his communication skills will make him a wonderful asset for an agency that has a very important role to play in our community", said Governor Scarce.
Adelaide Legacy President, Jim Parkins, stated, "We're especially pleased that Rainer has accepted our offer. His previous experience will assist in promoting Legacy to the general public now and in the future".
Rainer Jozeps will commence in his new role in August, 2010 prior to Legacy Week.
