Ms Koop has been the face of Tomorrow Today for almost four years, successfully steering the organisation through COVID-19 and the many hurdles it presented.
Board chair Louise Pearce said she appreciated Ms Koop’s leadership of the foundation.
“The board and staff wish Rosie all the best with her future endeavours and thank her for her thoughtful and compassionate leadership through what has been a challenging period for the world, not just Benalla,” she said.
Ms Koop said her decision to leave Tomorrow Today had been a difficult one.
“I have loved my time here,” she said.
“It is a very special organisation, doing important community development work thoughtfully, strategically and collaboratively.
“I will miss our team of kind, skilled and determined women and the stimulation and guidance of our board.
“I have no doubt that Tomorrow Today will continue to flourish under new leadership.”
After an extensive search, a new executive officer, Jodie Fleming, was appointed.
Ms Fleming lives in Dookie and has many years of experience working in community engagement in the Goulburn Valley.
Ms Pearce welcomed her to the position.
“I know I speak for all board members and staff when I say we are thrilled to welcome Jodie to Tomorrow Today,” she said.
“We believe her skills and knowledge will help Tomorrow Today through the years ahead.”
Ms Fleming was enthusiastic to get started in her new position.
“It is not often a role like this becomes available, and it is one I have been searching for for quite some time,” she said.
“I cannot think of anything more fulfilling than being part of the Tomorrow Today team and working toward a brighter future for the Benalla community.”
