Philip's
Message
We
are delighted to have welcomed two new members into the Club,
Charles Dimmick with the classification of Accounting, and Steven
McInnes whose classification is Leadership Training & Development.
Both Charles and Steven, I am certain, will make a wonderful
contribution to the Club and had already supported us prior to
joining. Charles has been helping Gaby Halpin with the Royal
Melbourne Show program and Steven has been helping me with some
articles on change management for Zone 8’s Public Image newsletter.
