Cathy Moore – WA Division Secretary

I wholeheartedly endorse Ruth for her unwavering dedication and tireless advocacy on behalf of professional staff in our sector. Ruth embodies the qualities of hard work, reliability, and deep commitment to our union's values.

Ruth has demonstrated exceptional leadership in revitalising the Women’s Action Committee in Victoria, inspiring women activists to engage more actively in our union and advocate fiercely for the rights of working women. 

In her time on National Executive as the Vice-President for Professional Staff (2021-22), Ruth has been a steadfast voice for smaller and regional universities and TAFEs. She has continued to advocate for smaller institutions to ensure that the unique needs of our members outside the Go8 unis are represented at all levels of the union.

In conclusion, Ruth's proven track record of advocacy, leadership, and solidarity makes her the ideal candidate for this union election. Her dedication to our sector and her tireless efforts on behalf of professional staff have earned my full support and confidence. I urge you to vote for Ruth to continue advancing our union’s mission of fairness, equality, and empowerment for all members.
