Sara Georgeson, Policy AnalystMy background is in social work and adult education. I lived in Palmerston North for over 20 years before moving to Wellington in June 2005 and had strong community networks, especially in the disability sector. I worked for a Needs Assessment & Service Coordination agency (Supportlinks) as a Service Co-ordinator before starting with the NHC Secretariat. Prior to this I worked for the Universal College of Learning (UCOL) in a variety of roles including Disability Co-ordinator and lecturer. I have a Master of Social Work. I have been on a number of committees as a community representative, including being on the Midcentral DHB's Disability Services Advisory Committee. As a disabled person myself, my ongoing focus has been on promoting the needs and issues of disabled people. I have held various positions in the Disabled Persons Assembly, including being a member of the national executive committee for a number of years.
