Joel Becker to leave VWC

After eight years as CEO/Director of the Victorian Writers’ Centre, Joel Becker will be leaving at the end of April to join the Australian Booksellers Association as its CEO. “I leave the VWC with a sense of pride about how the organisation has developed during the last eight years,” he says.

“I have seen the VWC through a dramatic series of changes and growth, moving from the rustic surrounds of a pre-renovated Meat Market to the CBD, first in the Nicholas Building, and now as part of the Wheeler Centre: Books Writing and Ideas.

“There are significant challenges lying ahead for the sector, but I am confident that I am leaving the VWC at a stage and time when a new CEO/Director will build upon past achievements and take the VWC even further.”

For the full letter from Joel, see his last ‘Dear Members’ column in the May–June issue of Victorian Writer.
