Hello online network community,
I thought it was time to officially introduce myself to Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) online members. As the title mentions, I am part of the Member Support Team (Helpline) and will also oversee the online network. You are welcome to view my (short) introduction video via the link Mez BCNA Introduction
Please feel free to introduce yourself or ask questions. I look forward to communicating with you further in the coming weeks as I navigate the online network.
Thankyou :)

"Hello online network, community and members of Breast Cancer Network Australia. My name is Maryann, however you are welcome to call me Mez. I am coming on here to officially introduce myself. Perhaps you would have heard of a new team member coming on board with Breast Cancer Network Australia. I am part of the Member Support Team helpline, as well as overseeing and supporting the online network. I've had the opportunity coming on board only the last few weeks, to look at the online network; exploring the functionality, tools and seeing the wonderful connectedness and supportive nature of the community on here. So I do look forward to bringing my experience and knowledge from working in similar like-minded teams/helplines, where I've supported people with chronic illnesses and mental health challenges. I would encourage you to say hello if you wish and introduce yourself. I'm sure I will get to know many of you over the coming weeks and I really am looking forward to the opportunity to engage with the online community. Thank you."

@Mez_BCNA
There are ladies on here who are far from tech savvy................mentioned many a time on previous posts and hence some saying they could not Zoom recently when asked by BCNA to particpate
It may be an idea if you put some words on your profile for those of us who cannot access your Video and in this post
Best wishes - AfraserMemberI don’t have a One Drive account and could open the video, took about 30 seconds.
- iserbrownMemberIt would appear you need an account hence one if many unable to view
- Mez_BCNACommunity ManagerThankyou for your kind welcomes @Afraser @arpie @Locksley @Sue_w @Julez1958
Apologies for those who are having trouble viewing my short video. I was sure that recipients didn't need to have a Microsoft 365, OneDrive, or SharePoint account and can access the content without having to enter a passcode or sign in. - Julez1958MemberHi there and welcome, I thought the video was a great idea.
I know I am not the only one who has found the online forum a great help in my breast cancer journey so far ( diagnosed almost 12 months ago).
I look forward to catching up with you in due course. - Sue_w1MemberHi @Mez_BCNA, welcome, I'm the same as @Locksley, no one drive.
- LocksleyMemberHi @Mez_bcna
Welcome. I don't have access to one drive. Am a bit technically challenged. - arpieMemberHi @Mez_BCNA , Welcome to the blog! Looking forward to chatting with you! All the best!
- AfraserMemberHi @Mez_BCNA
