Anthie (Anthea) Sidiropoulos

I am a passionate and hardworking community professional with exceptional experience leading culturally and linguistically diverse multicultural organisations. I have successfully demonstrated strong, effective communication skills by engaging with members and addressing their queries promptly and efficiently. As the key contact point, I manage end-to-end member queries, ensuring a seamless experience. Working collaboratively with team members, I have coordinated various activities and implemented strategies to enhance the member experience. Working for cultural and linguistically diverse multicultural organisations I have contributed to the growth of the organization by maintaining and improving membership renewals, identifying new opportunities for membership expansion, and recruiting new members. Through proactive networking and stakeholder liaison, I have built strong relationships with radio stations and existing members, further promoting the vision and mission of multicultural organisations like the NEMBC. Additionally, as at The Boite, I have assisted in maintaining an accurate membership database, tracking members' activities and providing valuable insights for strategic decision-making. New membership opportunities are an integral part of my role, enabling me to contribute to continued growth and success of multicultural organisations whom I have become affiliated with.

I have a strong passion for community broadcasting and advocating for social justice, gender equality, indigenous rights, LGBTQI community wellbeing, and combating racism, sexism, and homophobia through a focus on using music, songwriting, and performing as a means to raise awareness and promote positive change. These interests and commitments are important for fostering inclusivity and equality within all communities.

I have a keen interest in community engagement, enjoying the connection through my audiences as a singer, songwriter, performer.

My hobbies include documentary film making, interviewing and writing up scenarios.

Being open to new projects and opportunities is a great mindset to have as an employee, especially in a role focused on membership and engagement. It allows me to continuously grow, learn, and contribute to the organization's goals. By actively seeking out exciting projects, I create opportunities to expand my skills, bring fresh ideas to the table, and make a positive impact for the NEMBC community I serve. I remain proactive, keeping an eye out for new initiatives, and won't hesitate to propose ideas or collaborate with colleagues to enhance my role and contribution towards the NEMBC's mission.
