This week marks a special moment in the ten-year history of the IDA working side by side with its members to keep the desert connected. Outgoing IDA CEO Lindsey Langford, known to many as LL, is passing on the leadership role to Yilka Wongatha Nyoongar woman Sam Murray.    The IDA wishes to share its deepest gratitude and biggest respect to LL who has worked so hard for desert rangers for more than a decade. From the first meeting of desert groups in 2014 at the World Parks Congress in Sydney, through to the many collaborations, events, workshops, projects, programs and good times that have been had since, LL has been a guiding hand every step of the way. LL will remain a close friend of the IDA and all rangers into the future, but his departure as CEO leaves an enduring legacy of connection, collaboration, and leadership that all of us can be so proud of.    LL says he has "never felt the power of connection between people stronger than in the desert and to have helped build an organisation on this platform has been an incredible experience. To be able to hand over the reigns to Sam Murray, a Yilka Wongatha Nyoongar woman from the desert is an absolute honour."    There is so much more to be said and celebrated about LL but there is no better example of LL’s legacy than his commitment to transitioning his role to Sam over the last two years. For five years, Sam has played a vital role at the IDA, supporting people and managing programs.   As the IDA's first Indigenous CEO from the desert, Sam takes on the role with passion and focus, dedicated to ensuring that Indigenous rangers are enabled to collaboratively manage the Australian desert and are empowered to realise their aspirations for community, culture, and Country.   Sam says she is "so excited and proud to be stepping up into this role. I am committed to supporting my desert mob and rangers to look after their country the way they want."   "I want to thank Lindsey for his 10 years of leadership. He has created a great path for me to continue walking on with the IDA Board and team."
