Ted Wilkinson first joined the Challenge Community Services board in 1978, after being involved in the disability sector for many years. He has guided Challenge with his business expertise since then, becoming a Life Member and chairman for 5 years until 2018. Before his retirement from local radio, Mr Wilkinson’s career spanned 38 years at the New England Commercial Radio Network. The past 25 years has been spent as a primary producer on his property at Willow Tree. He is also on the board of the Quirindi Jockey Club and a member of the Willow Tree Bowling Club. Mr Wilkinson said he was thankful for the hard work of both staff and the board, who continue to provide great services and outcomes for Challenge clients, carers, children and the community.
