Dr Megan Gibson Appointed Chair of C&K Board

C&K is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Megan Gibson as the new Chair of the C&K Board.

A long-time advocate for children and early education, Dr Gibson brings a unique blend of sector knowledge, governance expertise and lifelong connection to C&K. Her experience spans from attending a C&K kindy herself, to being a director at a C&K centre, to serving on the Board for nearly a decade.

“It’s an incredible honour to step into the role of Chair,” Dr Gibson said. “C&K has shaped so much of my life and career, and I’m proud to lead a Board that puts children at the heart of our decisions.”

Dr Gibson has chaired the C&K Early Years and Innovation Committee and was on the inaugural C&K Building Waterfalls Curriculum Committee. She is committed to ensuring C&K’s Reconciliation Action Plan is authentically and deeply embedded across the organisation, including at Board level.

An Associate Professor at Queensland University of Technology, Dr Gibson is a nationally respected researcher and educator in early childhood workforce development. Her work has informed major national studies into educator attraction, wellbeing, and retention.

C&K CEO Dr Sandra Cheeseman welcomed the appointment, saying: “Megan brings deep sector insight, strong governance acumen and a genuine passion for C&K. We’re thrilled to have her leadership as we continue to grow our impact for children, families and communities across Queensland.”

C&K is one of Queensland’s largest not-for-profit early childhood education providers, with a 117-year legacy of putting children first.
