In this podcast we share in a fascinating behind the scenes exchange between Emerge Australia’s CEO Anne Wilson and Board Chair Mark Clisby, whose inspiration comes from family living with ME/CFS.
In this enlightening exchange, we learn about Mark’s quiet yet diverse pro-bono social service and impact, including as Chair of Emerge Australia, where he is driven to support our ME/CFS community, ensuring the highest standards of governance. We gain a unique insight into what makes our Chair tick and how he is driven to make a difference for people with ME/CFS and their carers.
