Inside ASI-AP

On Tuesday, Sue-Anne Wallace (CEO of the FIA) and I attended the Sydney luncheon to announce the state finalists of The Prime Minister's Awards for Excellence in Community Business Partnerships. ASI and FIA jointly submitted a nomination for this award, which I had posted about a few months ago.

Unfortunately, we did not win the state award, so that's it for us for this year. But it was really a good thing to be part of, and already Sue-Anne and I have started to make notes on how we can improve our community partnership so that we can nominate again next year.

On Friday 12th May I walked down to the ABC studios at Southbank and headed into "The Tardis" to record a 5 minute piece for an ABC program called "Perspective". My topic was corporate social responsibility with particular focus on the scholarship fund. Perspective is aired each weekday at 5.55pm on ABC Radio National between PM and before the 6pm news. It is also then repeated around the world on Radio Australia; and finally podcast via the ABC website for a month after it plays on air. It is currently scheduled to be aired on Friday 4th May on 621AM in Melbourne (Radio National). I will add a link to the website podcast once it is put up.

Thanks to everyone who has already donated. My Movember total has already passed $200 after just 4 days of publicity.
