Bushwalking Victoria

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Richelle Olsen as our new Executive Officer. We asked her to introduce herself in her own words:

"Some of you may have come across me before, I was the founder of the Escaping Your Comfort Zone bushwalking club, I was a Board member at Bushwalking Victoria just before COVID, and I’ve been the MC at the Outdoors Vic Conference. I’m the one with the colourful hair! Coming from a corporate background as a project manager and business analyst, I’m super excited to get started in this role. I’m bringing a “let's get it done” attitude to the role, and I’m passionate about club development, to get more people enjoying the camaraderie, the physical challenge and the mental health benefits that come from bushwalking in a supportive club space. I’m a “slow and steady, smell the roses” bushwalker, and love mountain biking, so much so that I rode my bike nearly 5,000kms off-road from Canada to Mexico a few years back. (Tho' these days I just have fun on my e-bike). Over the next few months I’m getting to know our clubs, and how we at BWV can best support them. I'm heading to the Fedwalks event in a few weeks, and I'm excited to meet many club members in person there.
