LAST WEEK'S BREAKFAST
A QUIET ACHIEVER
Well done to our quiet achiever, Kerry Kornhauser who delivered with support from her team, yet another highly successful Rotary International Women's Day Breakfast on Thursday at Crown Palladium. This is Kerry's 9th Breakfast!
PANELLISTS CREATED EXCELLENT DISCUSSION
This year's Moderator Dr Gael Jennings and MC - Husna Pasha are seen here with Kerry Kornhauser and panellists: Sally Capp, Lord Mayor, City of Melbourne; David Leser, Journalist and Writer; Debbie Platz, Asst. Comm. Australian Federal Police; Terry Moran AC, Chancellor, Federation University and Melinda Cilento, CEO, Comm for Economic Development of Australia. The discussion questions created a wonderful personal insight into each panellist's professional journey and how they see diversity in today's workplace.
BREAKFAST SNAPSHOT
More than 1,000 guests were met with a fantastic snapshot of what Rotary is about. Our Projects, our capacity to volunteer and make a difference to disadvantaged communities both locally and globally. Well done to the team of panellists and volunteers who again created an inspirational Rotary International Women's Day.
