Hi to all,

I’ve been in the chair for three months and am greatly enjoying being involved with the Board and new strategies being planned and implemented. It’s been a pleasure to work with Greg and the team, and refreshing for the committee to be involved in providing feedback on the strategy as well. It’s an exciting time to be involved with FBA and we welcome your thoughts and ideas on how we can better serve the membership. Don’t hesitate to contact us.

I enjoyed meeting some of you at the Victorian State Conference.  My highlight was the acquisition and merger session.  All three families shared their stories frankly and openly and all were interesting and from a different perspective.

Thank you to the team at the FBA office and all the sub-committee for putting the conference together.

Don’t forget to register for the FBA National Conference being held in Hamilton Island from the 30th August – 1st September. Make sure it’s in your diary—I’m sure now that the cold has set in here in Victoria, you’re ready for some warmth! Take the opportunity to bring your family and combine the conference with a break.  I look forward to meeting you there.
