My name is Lynda Bertoli and I have been volunteer member with the Latrobe Health Assembly for two years.  I’ve been a resident of the Latrobe Valley all my life and worked at the State Electricity Commission of Victoria before starting a technology business in 1990.

Throughout my working life I always sought to be an active community member and became involved in voluntary roles with adult education, tertiary education and, most recently, the Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund. 

As a busines operator in the region for over 25 years, I have witnessed the changes to our economy and our outlook as the region transitions to a different future.  I hope the Latrobe Health Assembly will make a positive contribution to the future health outcomes of the region.
