Growing my governance experience with this new role as Board Trustee for the Eastern Bay Community Foundation.

We're excited to announce that Cherie Stevenson who has been part of the extended Community Foundation whānau for a few years is now joining us as a Board Trustee.

Cherie has been helping the Community Foundation in the background for a few years and brings a wealth of marketing and communications expertise to the Eastern Bay Community Foundation Marketing Committee. Cherie Stevenson is a communications strategist with a belief that vibrant communities are built on connection, creativity, and resilience. A dedicated advocate for the Eastern Bay of Plenty, she joins the Board of the EBCF with a mission to amplify the Foundation’s impact and ensure its legacy grows for generations to come.

Locally, Cherie is the founder of Stellar Creative Marketing, where for over 12 years she has helped businesses find their voice and thrive. Her expertise runs deep in the health sector; she currently serves as Communications Lead for both the Eastern Bay Primary Health Alliance and the Hepatitis Foundation of New Zealand, navigating complex health landscapes to drive awareness and improve wellbeing outcomes.

No stranger to the Foundation’s work, Cherie previously served on the EBCF Marketing Committee. In this capacity, she's helped modernise the Foundation’s outreach, focusing on telling the stories of donors and recipients. Her transition to the Board is a natural evolution of her commitment to connecting generous locals with the causes that matter most.

Her dedication to the community isn’t limited to office hours. Cherie is a Junior Coach for the Whakatāne Surf Lifesaving Club, where she mentors young athletes in resilience and water safety.

With a strategic mind and a "roll-up-your-sleeves" attitude, Cherie brings a fresh, energetic perspective to the Board. She is dedicated to making the Eastern Bay not just a place to live, but a place where families, including her own, can flourish.

Please join us in welcoming Cherie to the board for the Eastern Bay Community Foundation whānau.
