Our Message to You I arrived at Humboldt Area Foundation and took over my position as CEO in August 2019, shortly after the start of the new fiscal year. The board, staff, and I were excited about what lie ahead: creating a community-driven strategic plan, investing in systems and infrastructure, reassessing the best ways to support our entire region, and engaging with the many generous donors devoted to this special place. We were making many positive strides toward a reinvigorated HAF and Wild Rivers Community Foundation, our affiliate in Crescent City, when COVID-19 began its first reach into California in March 2020. Like many of your businesses, schools, and organizations, we rapidly shifted course and were faced with a test as old as time: to adapt to the great uncertainty before us. In doing so, we also embraced an old adage: never let a crisis go to waste. We mobilized our staff to reconnect with hundreds of people and organizations in the four counties we serve: Del Norte, Humboldt and Trinity in California, and Curry County Oregon. Our aim was to understand and respond to the needs of the most vulnerable with grants, technical assistance, and coordination across sectors. We raised record-breaking funds from national philanthropy and local donors. This could not have happened without the generosity and support of our local donors and fund holders. The yearbook is a testament to their commitment to this special place we all call ‘home.’ During those first six months, thousands of hours and millions of dollars were invested in caring for our communities. Then, when the wildfires broke out, our rapid-response team mobilized once again to aid those who were evacuated, at health risk, or lost their homes. And again, we did it in partnership with philanthropy, donors and other community leaders. While it was—and continues to be—a challenging time for all, the acute health and social inequity faced by people of color required us to recognize and respond to the disparities. We announced and began taking immediate action focused on eight commitments devoted to racial equity, safety and belonging. Our model of response, service, equity, and deep connection with our most vulnerable was a pivot point for HAF and our affiliates. The multiple crises of 2020 gave us a renewed purpose and a platform for the future. In our new form, we will be ready to serve and stabilize our region in great times of need, as well as empowering our region to solve some of the deep, systemic challenges exposed during the past year. This vision for our—and YOUR—foundation, promises a stronger, healthier, more just recovery. It is a vision of us, in service together, for whatever may come our way. Bryna Lipper Chief Executive Officer Meet Our Board Our board of directors represents our community–from politics to nonprofits, from the owner of a real estate agency to the CEO of a coffee shop.

A warmer climate and the obvious lifestyle benefits of that are just some of the many advantages of choosing to live in Queensland. A more relaxed lifestyle Queensland in general has a strong reputation for offering a great lifestyle. This is even more the case in Regional Queensland, with its stunning uncrowded beaches and a very relaxed way of life. Great affordability Not only does Regional Queensland offer an ideal lifestyle, the cost of living is considerably lower than other areas on the Eastern Seaboard, particularly when it comes to housing in comparison to the median house prices in major metropolitan areas.

The inquiry took evidence at formal public hearings in every state and territory and at less formal meetings with parents, students, educators, and community members in rural and remote areas of every state and the Northern Territory. The inquiry received 287 written and e-mailed submissions. The inquiry also commissioned a survey from Melbourne University to which 3,128 individuals responded. This report presents the inquiry findings related to rural education outcomes, responsibility for education, the policy context, and the human rights context. It offers 73 recommendations organized by five necessary features of school education: availability, accessibility, affordability, acceptability, and adaptability.

Peter Ernest Tucker ……………………………...………………Date…….…………… i Abstract This thesis analyses the consequences and impacts of maverick politicians on contemporary Australian politics, especially Australian political parties. The thesis uses a case study methodology to argue that maverick politicians are one manifestation of an anti-political mood currently found in the electorate; that they provide parties with a testing ground to develop leaders, although maverickism and leadership are a difficult mix of attributes to sustain; that they can have significant influence on a party’s policy formulation; and that they form strong organisational ties within the party, centred on localism.
