The First Four - A Legacy of Service
The first four female Presidents of AMA(SA)- Dr Jeanette Linn, Dr Jill Maxwell OAM, Dr Patricia Montanaro and Dr Janice Fletcher — have all served as Trustees of MBASA. Their leadership reflects a proud tradition of doctors caring for doctors, carrying forward more than 140 years of compassion, advocacy and support.
A Tradition of Leadership
MBASA has had only ten Chairs in its 140+ year history. This continuity reflects the dedication of our leaders and the importance of long-term stewardship in safeguarding our mission.
