1st VICE PRESIDENT
Audrey Muir |
|
I am a native Czech,
although for more than 20 years I lived in England. Now back in Prague I have joined IWAP in the spring of 2008, wanted
to help and was asked to become Website co-ordinator. Since then I have learned much about design and web production whilst
meeting and communicating with many other inspired members. I have enjoyed the activities and friendship of IWAP and hope
to carry on the excelent tradition to the future.
|
I was born in Liverpool in the North West of England before
settling down to married life in Norfolk. My family and I experienced our first expatriate experience when we moved to Southern
California in 1998 where we spent 8 years before choosing Prague as our new home. Although I travel
extensively mainly to keep up with our children, I felt that I may be able to offer something to the IWAP team of volunteers.
I am thoroughly enjoying my role, it is rewarding as well as social and it gives me an opportunity to get involved in with
the whole IWAP team. |

I am originally from North Lincolnshire, England but have lived in the North East in Whitley Bay, 8 miles
from Newcastle upon Tyne for the last 31 years. I met my husband when he was training at Dartmouth Royal
Naval College and we married in Abadan, Iran. My two sons were born in Iran and returned with
me to live in England in 1974. I studied as a mature student when the boys were a little older and qualified as a Social Worker.
My career in Social Work lasted more than 20 years and I specialised in mental health, working in a community mental
health team. I
retired early, due to ill health, but came to Prague in the winter of 2007 when my husband started to work for Radio Free
Europe. I joined IWAP in January 2008 and have taken part in some of the many activities offered.
I was flattered to be asked to join the Board and will serve you to the best of my ability. |

I am registered nurse and moved to
Prague from New Zealand, 4 years ago with my husband. I have two adult sons who both now live in Europe. I remember so well
the frustrations of day to day life when you are new in Prague and am only too happy to help others make that transition,
both by running the Meet-and-Greet lunches and by sharing the pool of local knowledge gleaned through IWAP membership. It's
so good to see strangers come along for their first lunch and after only a couple of hours leave with contacts established
and new friendships on the way!
|
I've been a member of IWAP since we
arrived here from the UK in September 2004. For the first two years I attended the general meetings, enjoyed the social activities
and joined a couple of the interest groups. Then I was asked if I'd be interested in helping the magazine team. I'm
now the Editor for The Bridge. I've learned how to use desk top publishing and design programs and how to edit photographs
- new skills that I can take with me when we leave this beautiful city - but most of all I have made some wonderful new friends
from all parts of the world.

I moved to Prague from Germany in November 2006. After graduating
in law, I dedicated most of my time not only to a busy household with 3 children, a dog and cats but also accompanied my husband
on international business trips which ultimately led us to Prague. I joined IWAP only recently, in September 2008, but
I was instantly impressed by the friendly acceptance and energy and desire of members to help others. As a social event co-ordinator
I will try to organize a well balanced program of events helping the international women and their families to feel more familiar
with Czech society and culture.
