Issette Pearson

Mabel Stringer said of Issette Pearson, the founding Secretary of the LGU

"I do not think any one of us will ever rightly realise what Issette Pearson stood for in the early days of the LGU…. Nor, I think, has it occurred to the majority of us how extremely fortunate we were in having the integrity, the brains and the personality of such a woman to lay the foundations."
