Fellow board director Dr John Aitken said Mrs Hewitt had been a great contributor to the community with her years of service to early-childhood education and development.
“Glenda and Carolyn Morcom were the two board members who supported me most through my PhD project based on unearthing the health needs of our community,” Dr Aitken said.
“They attended almost all the Community Action Research Group meetings during those couple of years.

During her time on the board, Mrs Hewitt was awarded Victorian Kindergarten Teacher of the Year.
