PROGRAM

Guest Speakers: Morris Miselowski - Your Eye on the Future.

Morris Miselowski's extensive career reveals a life immersed in high-level business, welfare organizations and in the community.

Principal and founder of ‘Success through Focus’, Morris is in constant demand as a business futurist and consultant to some of Australia’s leading companies, state and federal government institutions and provides his expertise to start-up and growing businesses.  Morris also works with thousands of CEOs and key decision makers around the world, as a guide and business mentor.

Educated at Melbourne University, Morris has numerous business qualifications and accreditations and has won many awards.  His business acumen is displayed in the profitable sales of several companies which he developed, grew and sold. In the corporate world, he's been involved in the daily operation of seven publicly listed companies, welfare and human resource organizations, and has also developed multi-million dollar projects in local, national and international arenas.

Morris has lectured in Marketing and Management through to post graduate level at universities and TAFE Colleges around Australia. He still writes curriculum documents and training manuals, and provides lecturers to TAFE to teach his material.

His speaking specialty and business-orientation is future-vision.

Morris foresees an unlimited future for those companies which take the time to prepare and strategize for the future NOW.

President Philip's Message

With the Festive Season now on our doorstep, it is not only a time to think about our families and friends, but also those in need who will not be as fortunate to share in good food or gift-giving.  We can help those in our Club’s surrounds by donating a food product for inclusion in a hamper for our Christmas Present Response Scheme.  SP AusNet, a business in our community will also be coordinating the collection of food and other products to make up hampers for our Club to distribute. ...
