Aunty Yvonne Kent was an iconic indigenous elder and leader for the cohesion and collaboration between the local first nation people, the Gomaroi people, and the broader community. She engaged enthusiastically in the first 10X Tamworth community-based leadership development program in 2016 and became a founding member of Regional Unlimited, being appointed to the board in 2019.
Sadly, Aunty passed during the first wave of COVID. The RU Board made a commitment to host multiple community events to complete a portrait of Aunty and include the community in the process.
This project is more then a commemoration of Aunty. It is a leadership development program designed to spotlight and foster leadership in our community. The Aunty Yvonne Kent Commemorative Portrait Leadership Development Program will run from March to December 2023.

We acknowledge the Kamilaroi people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and live. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of our Aboriginal community. We have the utmost respect for the Elders past, present and future. We aspire to join equally with our indigenous brothers and sisters in working to create a healthy and productive environment for the whole of our community.
