Keeping this a secret was so hard
As we near the end of 2025 I have reflected on last 12 months of my ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ activities and how they have developed me as an individual as I have supported my branch as branch secretary, members across the region in my role as an ex officio board member and nationally in my role on the Stewards Committee.
