In her time as Chief Executive of Starlight Children’s Foundation, Louise Baxter has been responsible for sustainable revenue growth, which has funded significant Starlight program development and expansion. Louise is passionate about the cause and therefore committed to continually improving the impact of Starlight programs, and two recent social return on investment (SROI) studies have proven she is doing just this. Starlight is delivering a remarkable $4 to $5 for every $1 invested. These results are due to Louise’s focus on business growth through Starlight’s workplace culture. Thanks to Louise’s leadership, Starlight has been awarded AON Hewitt Best Employer accreditation – the only Australian charity to receive this accreditation.
