Kylie Boston has recently been elected as Mayor as the District Council of Grant in South Australia.
A passionate person, she loves the region’s small communities, having lived with her husband Garry in the Yahl district for the past 24 years, raising their family here.
Small schools are the life of the Grant communities, and Kylie said her involvement with the Yahl School on both Governing Council and Parent Club, was enjoyable and very rewarding.
She continues to be involved in the Yahl community with the Yahl Hall Committee.
She said her passion for sports is something that carried through with her children; with involvement in the Mt Schank Tennis Club (of which Kylie is a life member), South Gambier Netball Club and Tonique Studio and she is still very actively involved in the local sporting clubs.
In 2018 she was named Citizen of the Year – an accolade she proudly displays in her office still.
She is also very proud of what she has achieved over her twenty-nine-year working career throughout the Southeast across many fields of Primary Industries, working as a Research Scientist, Agronomist, Lecturer and Consultant in Primary Industries, for organisations such as, DairySA, Primary Industries and Regions SA, TAFE SA, Top Pork, International Red Dairy Breed Federation and the ever popular Cows Create Careers program.
Kylie also has also worked with not-for-profits, Women in Business and Regional Development, working with like-minded women across the Limestone Coast. In these roles she excelled in managing fabulous projects, events, conferences, and tours. Kylie believes we have some of the most amazing resources in our region.
To quote Helen Keller, “Alone we do so little, together we can do so much”.
This is Kylie’s vision of working together to make our community a great place for everyone to live, work and play.
