Melinda Rich Message from departing Acting CEO James Hamilton Over the last six months it’s been my privilege to lead JOY 94.9 Australia’s LGBTIQ+ radio station. Every day at JOY I am reminded of the amazing work we do in service to our diverse LGBTIQ+ communities - both in Melbourne and around Australia. It’s only by working together that amazing things happen. Whether you are a JOY member, donor or volunteer - your contribution to JOY matters. As we move into a new era of leadership in this amazing organisation I want to thank all of you for your support and friendship over the last six months. James Hamilton |
