I'm Dianne Delchau, President of U3A Online - originally a teacher, I joined U3A Sunshine Coast, in 1997 and by 2000 was Class Administrator then eventually Vice President. and was involved with the organisation of the U3ASC conference and the development of a 5 year Strategic Plan.

In April 2006 Rick Swindell and Tom Holloway came to U3ASC, for a seminar on the Timewitnesses project. Rick convinced me to join U3A Online and by the end of that year I was the Administrator. The following year I added President to my roles, a responsibility I relish given the new opportunities that Skype and Flashmeeting offer.
