Meagan Franklin Board Director Since: 14/12/2021 Committees: Member of the Finance, Risk & Audit Committee Meagan is passionate about ensuring regional Australia has access to the same level of services and opportunities as our city counterparts. This passion extends to all areas of life, recreation, education and essential services. Born and raised on the family farm near Paskeville on the Yorke Peninsula, her earliest memories of administration were typing up her dad’s weekly President reports and seeing if she could type as quick as he could dictate. She was a natural mathematician at school and an eager school leader, so it was a natural progression to study Commerce at Adelaide University in her Tertiary years. She was very fortunate to find employment with an outstanding regional business as their Accountant, Cowell Electric, in 1999 when she moved to Cowell with her husband, Matthew, when he decided to return to the family farm. During her time at Cowell Electric, she completed her Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA) status, held the position of Company Secretary for over 10 years, Chief Financial Officer for 8 years and was fortunate to have completed many professional development courses such as Melbourne Business School Leadership Development course, CPA Advance CFO course, and the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) course.

In the 90’s Sara met and married David Fauser and shifted back to Eyre Peninsula and have two girls. They have lived and worked on their farm near Ungarra and will soon be moving to Port Lincoln. Sara then enjoyed working at the Tumby Bay Medical Clinic and worked there for 23 years progressing from reception to Managing the business of General Practice. There was plenty to learn as technology and government regulation infiltrated every aspect of running a private practice. During this time, Sara was also privileged to have a catering business. In accepting the Board position with WCHC, Sara hopes to bring the perspective of the WCHC consumers, having seen the impacts of aging and disability in her working and personal life.
