The dedication and commitment of the USU Southern branch and our General Secretary was evident on Friday 29 November when their final meeting went ahead, despite road closures and wild weather.
While Graeme always attends branch meetings, this one was especially important since it was the first one after this year’s Growth Conference where branch committee members Max Dawson (Wollongong City Council) won Delegate of the Year and Vicki Hodges (Bega Valley Shire Council) won the Edna Ryan Award respectively.
Graeme took the time to congratulate Max and Vicki once again for their achievements and to thank them for everything they do to support us.
