President of the Australian Bridge Federation – At the Gold Coast Congress in March 2022 I had a conversation with Allison Stralow, the first female President of the Australian Bridge Federation. Allison discusses how she went from being a school teacher to the President of a national sporting organisation. She discusses her strengths and weaknesses and gives advice on how to handle your mistakes, build a team, work collegialty, engage with your members and build a bridge community. Allison applauds the QBA going ahead with the Gold Coast Congress, the importance of face-to-face bridge and the opportunities to give back to your organisation.
