Bill Smith - former Board Member and Chairperson of Early Years - the organisation for young children

It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Bill Smith, former Board member and Chairperson of Early Years – the organisation for young children.  Bill was a strong champion for the rights of young children and an advocate for investment in the early years during his career and subsequently in his role as Chair of this organisation.  We are grateful for his contribution to the development of Early Years – the organisation for young children.  Bill also authored the 50 year history of the organisation.  We remember his wise counsel, compassionate and optimistic leadership.  We offer our deepest sympathy to Bill’s family and friends.
