12 Speak Out August 2016
National Conference
who worked alongside Pam at the Conference registration desk,
assisted the session chairs and ensured that delegates found their
intended sessions. Without you the Conference would not run as
smoothly so we really appreciate all your time and effort.
I would like to extend a very big thank you to the Board of Speech
Pathology Australia and National Office staff for their ongoing
support and advice during the Conference planning period.
Making Waves also would not have come to fruition without the
dynamic Pamela Richards, National Conference Manager. Pam is
the backbone to the Conference, and managed the Conference
planning process with extraordinary organisation, poise and good
humour. Her leadership and extensive experience were essential
in bringing the Conference together, including every last phone
call, brainstorm and decision that was happening behind the
scenes! The Conference Planning Committee really appreciated
Pam’s support every step of the way, and thoroughly enjoyed her
involvement with the team. The CPC would also like to thank Kobi
Davis, an event management student from Victoria University, who
worked with Pam leading up to and during the Conference, she
was a great asset and did a fantastic job.
Delegate feedback Survey
Thank you to the 415 members who took the time to complete
and submit their survey. Congratulations to Wendy Heywood from
Tasmania, who was the lucky
winner of the complimentary
Conference registration to the
2017 National Conference in
Sydney WiFi.
All feedback, positive and
constructive, has been carefully
collated and will form the basis
of a detailed report to the Board
in August. There will also be
direct feedback to the 2017
Sydney CPC to assist them in
their planning processes.
Finally, on behalf of the Conference Planning Committee we would
like to thank all delegates who attended Making Waves in Perth.
Delegates produced a vibrant, positive, and engaging atmosphere
that made for an enjoyable and memorable event.
