Elisa Buggy is a Board Director with Mike Carroll for the Victorian Alcohol and Drug Association (VAADA) and is the CEO of West CASA (Centre Against for Sexual Assault).

Elisa grew up on Palawa Country, also known as Tasmania.  She loves meeting new people, cooking, her couch, and her family - and she also seems to be a perpetual student.  

She is deeply committed to making the world a better place - at least in the way that she sees it - and is magnetised towards the proverbial 'too hard baskets' (a term she finds both deeply offensive and all too prevalent). 

Elisa loves building community - especially where it's lacking - and is always up for a philosophical meander through the meaning of life.  

Oh!  And she's also a Social Worker with an MBA who is plodding slowly through a law degree.  

She sits on multiple community boards and is very proud to be leading West CASA in these fascinating times!
