Kristin Blume

Board Member at YWCA Canberra

Kristin Blume was appointed to the board in October 2019.

With a background in policy, program management, and public sector leadership, Kristin has skills in risk management and program evaluation, governance and policy understanding, and stakeholder engagement.

An ACT Government employee since 2004, Kristin has worked in a variety of roles in social and economic policy, transport planning, and the ACT light rail Stage one project, where she led the project office team for the 12 months before services began.

Since 2019, Kristin has led the development of the ACT Wellbeing Framework, Australia’s first wellbeing framework that is being embedded into budgets and other parts of government decision-making.

After returning to a leadership role following parental leave for her second child, Kristin connected with a small social enterprise Lead Mama Lead to help other mothers return to work or negotiate flexible work.
