More about the foundation
Board of Governance
Background
The Miriam Rose Foundation was first incorporated in 1988 as an Association under the NT Associations Act. We operated in this capacity until December 2018, when our Board and members voted to transition to an Aboriginal Corporation under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act. On January 7, 2020, we officially became The Miriam Rose Foundation Aboriginal Corporation.
At our 2019 AGM, a majority-Indigenous Board was elected, and today we are proudly governed by members of the Nauiyu community — the very people we serve.
Our current Chair, Julie Calvert, brings a strong background in community organisations and spent many years living in the Northern Territory. She is a passionate advocate for improving education and opportunities for Indigenous youth. Over the years, Julie has hosted numerous students in her home, providing a safe and supportive environment for those studying off Country. She has worked closely with Miriam since the Foundation’s inception and remains committed to ensuring the organisation lives its strategy and continues to be a trusted and community-rooted charity.
