Ruth Appleby
Conference Manager
(Ruth handles all conference logistics. But if it’s a query about conference registrations you have then Charmaine (below) – is your go-to.)
When Ruth came to Australia on a six-month working holiday from the UK, she met a tall, dark handsome vet in the ski fields of Thredbo and that was the start of her Australian odyssey. Her career path began in the UK in the tourism/hospitality sector and has encompassed managing a ski lodge, heading up convention bureaux in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley, and managing conferences for up to 1,000 delegates. Her passion for the performing arts led her to a five-year sojourn in the arts industry managing a symphony orchestra and working for the Australian Bicentennial Authority. Today this same passion finds her singing in choirs and enjoying classical concerts. Ruth joined F&P in 2016, and appreciates the opportunity it offers to use her skills to contribute in a small way, to help our amazing members to do the incredible work that they do to make a difference in so many people’s lives. She has been married to the vet for 40 years and they are currently parents to one ‘fur baby’.
