I write to convey how much it has been a pleasure to work with you over the past fifteen months. The substantial interest and engagement by the Australian media – local and interstate – and the Sydney based Japanese media and each group’s subsequent coverage of the conference – print, radio and TV – was excellent. This outcome was a testament to the frequency of contact with the outlets and targeted individuals that you undertook. Also, I believe, the media were responding to your evident professionalism. Thank you also for the advice, guidance and assistance regarding other dimensions of the conference. The locally sourced carry bags with the Indigenous design were a great conference satchel and will be a longer lasting memento in many households.
