Zoom Branch – Beta Delta
The first Zoom Branch of ESA in Australia was officially chartered on Wednesday, 26th March 2025. State President Carmel Mulcahy warmly welcomed seven women from across Queensland into ESA during a traditional Candle-light ceremony—held virtually through the wonders of modern technology.
This new branch was the vision of Jenny Hendricks, a dedicated leader and former State President (2023–24). Recognising the need for an ESA group beyond traditional settings, Jenny created a space where former members and those who may feel isolated could continue their involvement and connection within the organisation.
Charter members were: Trudy Adams from Mt Isa
Kathy Cavanagh from Bribie Island
Val Files from Sunnybank Hills
Pam Harris from Childers
Alison Muir from Sandy Creek
Marilyn Provians from Beachmere
Marianne Steentsma from Booval
Charter President was Marilyn Provians, who had previously served as State President in 1987-88 but had lost touch with ESA after moving
Charter Vice-President was Trudy Adams a new member to ESA
Charter Secretary was Kathy Cavanagh A.M. a former member of the Redcliffe Branch
Charter Treasurer was Pam Harris who was a former ESA member
Marilyn chose as her theme for the year “Through Zoom we will Bloom”
Beta Delta meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of every month at 7p.m.
