Frances Crimmins of YWCA Canberra

Executive with a Cause with Tammy Ven Dange

In this episode of Executive with a Cause, host Tammy Ven Dange chats with Frances Crimmins, CEO of YWCA Canberra.

Providing affordable housing, childcare services, and education opportunities would be a tall ask for multiple organisations. But for YWCA Canberra, it’s a sustainable business model that has allowed them to serve the Canberra Community for over ninety years. In this episode, we discuss topics such as advocacy without fear of government funding implications, investing in leaders and accepting when parties won’t agree.

IT in Plain English

In this week’s segment, Tammy explores the question, ‘should my organisation upgrade to Windows 11?’ For most organisations, the answer is no. However, a more pressing consideration - ensure that you do not have any devices on Windows 8.1, as support ends for that version in January 2023.
