Advocating for equity
30 June 2017
Colonel Julie Campbell has been appointed to the newly created position of National Gender Equity Advocate.
As part of last week's Australia One appointments announcement, National Commander Floyd Tidd announced that Colonel Julie Campbell has been appointed to the newly created position of National Gender Equity Advocate.
A key role in the Australia One Gender Equity Plan, an eye-catching component of the recently unveiled structural foundation for the new Australia Territory, the advocate will be responsible for identifying gender-equity issues across both territories and implementing strategies to bring change.
The advocate will ensure recommendations for female representation on territorial and divisional boards and at public events will be fulfilled, as well as identifying married female officers for leadership development.
Colonel Campbell will take up the role as an additional appointment from 1 August.
“I’m excited about the opportunity to be part of a team who will be developing ways to ensure that everyone who serves and works for The Salvation Army will feel valued, empowered and equipped to use our gifts and abilities for God and our community,” she says. “The right people in the right places will enable us to fulfil our vision to transform Australia one life at a time with the love of Jesus.”
The National Gender Equity Advocate will be directly accountable to the National Chief Secretary, currently Colonel Mark Campbell.
In light of the appointment of Colonel Campbell as the Advocate for Gender Equity, the position of Assistant National Secretary for Women’s Ministries will assume the responsibilities normally carried by the National Secretary for Women’s Ministries, working directly with the National President of Women’s Ministries.
Captain Anne Jeffrey has been appointed to the role of Assistant National Secretary for Women's Ministries, which will release Colonel Campbell to focus on her additional appointment as Advocate for Gender Equity.
