Kylie has been a member of Mt Isa Branch of the Air (BOTA) since 2001. She was Branch Vice President for three years prior to becoming President in 2010 – a position she held for 6 years before returning again to the Vice President role, one which she still holds. Kylie has been involved with ICPA State Council since 2013 with the first two years as Portfolio Research Officer, an off-council support position, and the remaining eight as a State Councillor. In her other life she and her husband, Ernie, live in the Gulf on “Floraville Downs” where they raised their four children who are now out in the workforce. They now have the pleasure of watching the next generation grow, with their granddaughter living on the property with their youngest son and his wife. In total, Kylie spent 20 years in the classroom, first as a governess and then as a teaching mother and may well be back there one day supporting her grandchildren's education. She is a member of local sporting groups as well as President of her local CWA branch, Chair of the Burke Shire Community Advisory Network for her local health centre, Vice-President for her local family hub and a member of the Premier's Regional Community Forum for North and North-West Qld as well as a member of the Riversleigh World Heritage Advisory Committee.
