Vocational Panel on Wednesday 2 February 2022
The annual Vocational Panel discussion at the beginning of each year aims to showcase the talents and diverse areas our members work in and to challenge us to consider opportunities in the year ahead. This year Rotary Melbourne is seeking to engender a positive view on the future as we move out of Covid. The panel will share their perspectives and experience on the post-pandemic opportunities in Australia for innovation across a broad range of sectors (eg communication, health, enterprise development, manufacturing and the community).
At the conclusion of the Panel there will be a Q&A.
The three panellist are :
