Reviews

I have known and worked with William Ward-Boas since I took on the role of CEO with VALID in 2022 – first as a colleague, later as a member of VALID’s Board, and currently as the Board’s Deputy and Acting Chair.

 

In all these roles William has demonstrated many excellent qualities: a strong sense of commitment, great capacity – to do and to learn, intellectual curiosity and a wonderful consideration and compassion for others.

 

He has a deep knowledge of current issues and developments in the disability sector, and interpersonal and communication skills of a high order. His dedication to a strong value base is evident in all he does, and he is a delight to work with.

 

William clearly has every intention to make a significant contribution to the disability field, and I have no doubt at all he will do so. I can recommend him without hesitation.

"William’s intersectional assessment was deeply insightful and transformational — it helped us become significantly more welcoming for those living with trauma, disability, and First Nations identity".

We (ARTD Consultants, an independent evaluation company) have worked with Will in different ways since 2019. First, as a lived experience evaluation team member designing an evaluation, collecting feedback and analysing data for a youth leadership program for people with disability. Then through his work with Amaze. Most recently, as our client for an evaluation of a project he was leading – working with other advocacy organisations to develop rights education for people with disability. Will is a passionate advocate, thoughtful, collaborative and focused on making things better.
