Our Board
The Stella Bella Foundation is governed by a Board (also known as a Management Committee). The Board works with the CEO to set the strategic direction and policy of the organisation, while also taking a hands-on role with administrative tasks and working with key staff and volunteers to manage the Foundation. The relationship between key staff, volunteers and Board members is a partnership.

Sarah is a founding board member with a huge heart and a calm and clever mind. She is passionate about supporting seriously ill children and her empathy and dedication are an important part of our organisation.
