Nash Davis is a key member, with Linda Sheldon and Dr Susan Colmar, of the Memory Mates team. Over the term of his affiliation with Sydney School of Education and Social Work he has published, disseminated and developed the work of the team, including launching the Memory Mates website in August 2017 at the Sydney School of Education and Social Work.
