Ms Pearce said she was honoured to take on the role.
"(I) look forward to working with our committed staff and board as we continue to support families, schools and the broader Benalla community,“ Ms Pearce said.
“Benalla is very fortunate to have community leaders like Sally Gamble and Liz Chapman, who have dedicated their time and talents to creating the Tomorrow Today Foundation and Education Benalla Program.”
