Our People
Building Healthier Communities
At EON, our Board and staff share a common mission – improving health and wellbeing in remote communities by tackling preventable diseases caused by poor nutrition. We work side by side with the local community to provide them with the tools to improve nutrition, build practical skills and create stronger, healthier futures.
Our Board
Our Board brings a valuable range of experience to managing the strategic direction of EON and a collective passion to grow healthier communities.
our Executive team
Based in Perth and Broome in Western Australia, and Darwin in the Northern Territory, our experienced Executive Management Team supports and leads our staff to ensure excellence in the delivery of our program.
our Operations team
Under the guidance of our Operations Managers, EON’s innovative and highly-skilled team of Project Managers delivers our Thriving Communities Program to remote schools and communities across Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
our Office team
EON’s executive and operational teams are supported by dedicated finance and administration staff based in our Perth and Katherine offices.
Our Community Assistants
EON’s Project Managers visit their communities on a fortnightly basis so local Community Assistants are vital in assisting with garden maintenance and the delivery of classes in the absence of the Project Manager, and to assist them with their work when they are in community.
Our Community Assistants champion our Thriving Communities Program by:
- providing a link between EON and their community, helping to build trust
- working alongside our Project Managers to grow healthy fruit, vegetables and bushtucker
- assisting with the delivery of EON classes to the school students
- taking ownership over time for ensuring community gardens thrive and are continuously planted and cropped
- transferring the skills learned through the program to build home gardens
- sharing their knowledge across community.
