A message from the CEO - Celebrating 25 years in 2010 [12.02.2010]
I am thrilled to be a part of the Committee for Melbourne. In the weeks since joining in January this year, I have enjoyed the opportunity to build my relationships with our members, participate in activities in our Higher Education and Shaping Melbourne taskforces, and partner with Board members on our vision for the future shape of the Committee and our city.
The collaborative effort by 160 members of our Shaping Melbourne Taskforce is impressive and the work produced highlights the quality and significance of the contributions our members give to our community.
As you may know, it is our 25th Anniversary this year and we have much to acknowledge and be proud of. Our Annual Dinner themed ‘Melbourne After Dark’ on Thursday 25 March, 2010, will be very special and is our opportunity to join you in celebrating this important milestone and look towards our focus for the next 25 years.
Our committed Executive Board and Secretariat are working hard to ensure that our members concerns and views are heard, explored and given a voice that will encourage an innovative business culture in our city, enhance Melbourne’s liveability and ensure Melbourne’s global relevance.
I look forward to celebrating our 25th anniversary with 600 of Melbourne’s thinkers and doers and engaging with more of our valued members in the coming months.
