What to wear to our Gala Dinner
A few quick tips about what to wear on Friday night if you're coming to our Awards Dinner
Turning Disabilities into Differentabilities
Each week we will bring you a new chapter of a virtual book that we're calling Meet the Member - we know, it's original... but we're keeping it simple ! Our goal being to tell you more about what our members do, what their businesses is all about, what they stand for and why they decided to become a member of Food & Fibre Gippsland. The content will be as diverse as the members, some weeks it might be a long article that's great to sit down and enjoy with a cup of tea, other weeks, we might bring you a 5 minute video that gives you a visual insight. Whatever it is, we aim to make it informative, engaging and collaborative - three very important things as we strive to help everyone in the food and fibre sector get to know one another a little better and understand each other a little more. It's all about telling the story, so here goes with Chapter 1 - Noweyung - Turning Disabilities into Differentabilities

Kick Starter Day - BrainSTEM Region Innovation Challenge 2019
When Dr Amy Cosby asked me if I'd be interested in being a mentor in the 2019 BrainSTEM Challenge, I didn't hesitate. For me, being part of programs like this is not only a way to share my communications knowledge and experience to help the future generation, it's also a wonderful opportunity to see problems, challenges and issues through different eyes. If today's enthusiasm is anything to go by, I am super excited about the next 12 weeks !
