It was 30 years ago that Kim Williams first stepped into the role of administrative assistant at the Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre (BNC), seeking a job with limited hours after the birth of her first child. What she didn’t know was that three decades later, she and her colleagues would be celebrating her 30th year of service.
“I never really expected [working here for so long]. It just kind of happened!” she said with a grin.
Her milestone was marked by an official acknowledgement during the BNC’s Annual General Meeting on Wednesday, 29 October, where she received a congratulatory plaque recognising her enduring dedication to the organisation.
Although initially hired as an admin assistant, Kim later progressed into the role of financial admin assistant—the position she currently holds. She credited much of her early growth to her mentor, current BNC Treasurer Elvie Dickinson, who addressed the crowd with words of appreciation for Kim:
“Many things have changed since [we hired Kim], but she has remained with us—something I am daily grateful for,” she said. “I really could not have done my job without her.”
“We’d be lost without her.”
Kim remains grateful for the relationships she’s built along the way, and although already 30 years into her tenure, she revealed she has no plans to slow down. “I’m happy to stay put!”
