Board Members
Mark Lowen
Treasurer
Mark has been in Timaru for about 30 years having spent 8 years in England. Not knowing anyone when he first came to Timaru, Mark emersed himself in sport and community groups that he was passionate about, including the South Canterbury Squash Racquets, Timaru City Football, and South Canterbury Drama League (SCDL) clubs. Along with being involved with these committees at different times, Mark is also on the board of Creative corner Early Learning Centre, and SCDL.
In 2011 he was majorly instrumental in the construction of the South Canterbury Roller Skating Club banked racing track and clubrooms.
Currently he is on the SCDL Musical Theatre, and Central South Cycle Trail committees, as well as being on the Community Accounts services board.
Mark finds that, to be a member of a community, one must be involved in a community.

Board Chair
After some time in Palmerston North and Wellington, Stacey Blissett returned to Timaru in 2015 and is working as a lawyer at Timpany Walton, a local law firm.
Outside of work, she has recently joined the Volunteering Mid & South Canterbury board and the Community Accounts Service board.
