Lindsay Brookes has worked under five past directors of the Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA), including the role of Executive Assistant for four of them – a position she has filled for 34-years.
While that position affords her some great anecdotes, it also demonstrates the importance of capturing an organisation’s history when it comes to succession. And, perhaps more so, gives a nod to the need to celebrate those ‘scaffold roles’ that are the armature of an organisation, holding it up – and holding it together.
