Hobart CEO Award winner James Ratcliffe with Inclusion and Diversity commendation recipient Mikiyas Wassie.

Launceston had an on site morning tea and awards presentation, where we welcomed Minister Jo Palmer, Deputy Mayor Matthew Garwood, and representing Bridget Archer’s office, Bree Groves. The morning encapsulated what the awards themselves represent, with an incredibly positive sense of encouragement and support.

Hobart was able to combine the Awards presentations with the annual Christmas party this year, making it a double celebration and night of fun and festivity.

All very worthy winners, picked from an extremely competitive pool of potential candidates. The future of Blueline is in good hands.
