Auckland’s long serving president retires.

Gaydene Joseph, our well known and highly respected President, announced her retirement at our AGM in June.
This came after something like twenty -five years of non stop service to Huntington’s disease. Gaydene was an inaugural member when the association was first set up all those years ago and has remained a devoted worker helping patients and families in every way possible.
In those early days, Gaydene had very little help and all by herself willingly filled the roles of field officer, counsellor, administrator, and friend to the entire Auckland H D Community.
She and her late husband’s family have been most generous benefactors to our association and without their help and guidance it is unlikely that we would have grown to be the successful organisation that we are today.
The Auckland committee, and the association at large, would like to thank Gaydene most sincerely for her wonderful contribution over so many years and we all wish her the very best for the future.
