Beth Eggleston

Director | Connector | Initiator

Beth an OG HAG. A co-founder of HAG and co-director alongside her trusted co-conspirator Jess Lees, has braved the acronym filled world of large international NGOs, small local NGOs and the United Nations. Now, she revels in the dynamic energy of a nimble team, relishing the ability to make quick decisions and tackle humanitarian challenges head-on as they surface.

In an unforeseen turn of events, Beth found herself immersed in the world of humanitarian civil-military coordination which she got to work on in Afghanistan and Liberia. This journey extended to working on humanitarian reform in the wake of the Humanitarian Response Review in 2005.

It was her passion for humanitarian civil-military coordination that saw Beth awarded a Fulbright Scholar in 2019 allowing her to spend three months at the US Naval War College with the Humanitarian Response Program team (where she sampled a diverse array of doughnuts). Beth has co-authored a range of publications including protection of humanitarian personnelpeace and development in Iraqthe role of women in countering violent extremism, From Principle to Practice: Protecting civilians in violent contexts and was involved in drafting the Australian Guidelines for the Protection of Civilians.

 

Beth is the host of HAG’s podcast ‘I Think You’re on Mute’ which elevates voices from the Indo-Pacific and shares insights and findings from the Humanitarian Horizons Research Program.  Beth is currently the Team Convenor for her local Macedon Ranges Australian Red Cross Emergency Services Team.
