President - Susan Hoy
Current serving President.
I have a very strong commitment to ethos and vision of the museum. I am nominating for the role of President, once again this year. I look forward to continuing this role and in continuing to support the staff, committee member, volunteers and members.
Throughout my working career I have held many and varied positions with the field of education. I trained as secondary teaching commencing my career in Gordonvale just south of Cairns. From there my husband, also a teacher and I have been transferred to other locations within the state both city and regional. I was lucky enough to teach at Cleveland State High School from 1976 until 1980 and then again from 1982-1985.
I moved out of secondary education for 10 years and worked in the area of Medical Education. I first took up a position with the University of Queensland as a Medical Education Officer at Nambour Hospital and then became to Accreditation Manager responsible for accrediting Queensland Hospitals to train Interns. After this I went onto to work as the Queensland Quality Assurance and Continuing Professional Development officer for the Royal College of General Practitioners.
In 1997, I returned to secondary teaching until I retired. A very diverse and challenging career path which taught me many valuable lessons regarding dealing with people.
After retirement, I have held the following volunteer positions:
Vice President – John Kunde
I was born in Cleveland and grew up on a farm at Birkdale and have lived in the Redlands for most of my life. I attended QUT and graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science and Graduate Diploma in Business Management. I worked in chemical laboratories and the field of Industrial Chemical sales for my working life. In retirement, I chose to volunteer at Redlands Coast Museum to give back to the community. My wife Lynne and I have four children and five grandchildren. I have served the museum as a Guide, show n tell presenter, show n share presenter, Collections team leader, Displays team member and recently team leader, event volunteer, Management Committee member for two years and Vice President on the 2026 committee.
Treasurer - Alleyne Johnson
Alleyne Johnson brings more than 20 years of financial management, governance and senior administration experience within a regional not-for-profit museum.
At Qantas Founders Museum in Longreach, she held senior management positions including General Manager and Acting CEO, with responsibility for financial management, Board reporting, budgeting, audit coordination, government grants, financial controls and risk management.
Her experience includes current service as Treasurer of Zonta eClub of Queensland and previous service as Treasurer of the Central West Collectible Vehicle Club.
She has worked closely with Boards, auditors, accountants and government agencies and contributed to the administration of more than $14 million in government funding.
A strong commitment to community service is reflected in eight years as President of the Zonta Club of Longreach and six years as a mentor with the QTIC Young Professionals Mentoring Program.
Having recently relocated from Longreach to the Redlands, Alleyne is keen to contribute to the Redlands Coast Museum and support its continued growth and financial sustainability.
She would bring a practical, accountable and collaborative approach to the Treasurer role, with a focus on clear financial reporting, sound governance and responsible stewardship of the Museum’s resources.
Secretary - Jill Tilson
I arrived in Australia as a Migrant from the UK in 1973 and became an Australian citizen in 1983. I have 2 children and 5 grandchildren, and have been a widow for 20 years. Community Work has been a strong focus within my life, both as a volunteer and in paid positions since 1974. I have been a member and volunteer of the Museum for 8 years. Including:
My other volunteer roles have included:
After spending many years as a Wife and Mother, I returned to study and in 1999 completed a Diploma in Applied Science (Community and Human Services) from Alexandra Hills TAFE. In 2002 I was awarded a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Welfare from Monash University. Since that time, I have been employed in several roles, including a Housing Resource Officer and Family Support Worker. Close to my heart was my role of Manager of a million dollar, federally funded parenting support program, which evolved from a parenting course that I created for parents of toddlers. After the death of my Husband in 2006, I returned to the workforce as a Volunteer Co-ordinator, working for several organisations including Mt Olivet and the MS Society.
I have enjoyed working this year as the Secretary of the Museum and would like to continue to use the knowledge gained from this together with my experience from my working and volunteer life to support the future of the Museum.
