"Tuti energised everyone with whom she worked while in Australia – from staff and Board members to Foundation Trustees, IWDA supporters and potential supporters. She provided practical and effective ways to increase support for IWDA and to recognise that success in changing the world comes through successfully changing the way we see our donors. Through Tuti’s eyes we saw the interconnection between changing our own attitudes and changing the world."
