Presidential Ponderings

Hello and officially welcome to the 2019/2020 Rotary year which sees a new theme “Rotary connects the world” and a new Rotary International world President Mark Daniel Moloney.

On behalf of Past President Janette and I -  thanks to those members who attended Changeover at the Box Hill RSL on Saturday night.  A special thanks to District Governor Shia Smart, partners and to Janne Thomas for being there too – it was great to catch up with you all. And in true Nunawading style – much great fellowship and fun was had.

We acknowledged and thanked Janette and the Board/chairs/members for their good work over the 2018/2019 year and for being the inspiration.

Three Paul Harris Fellows were awarded – Sue Warmington, Phil Maxwell and Dick Tregear.  All so well deserved.

One Honorary Membership was awarded to Dick Tregear.  Dick retired at the end of 2018/2019 Rotary year after 51 ½ years’ service.  A truly inspired effort, by a genuine and humble man, who continued to actively serve his community until the day he retired.  Thank you Dick and Pam. 

We also farewelled Phil Maxwell who has transferred to the RC of Mordialloc – a loss for us but a great asset for Mordialloc – we wish Phil and Sue well on the next part of their Rotary journey.

Finally I want to thank everyone for their support, guidance and advice so far -  I am really grateful and honoured to be given the opportunity.

And remember to have fun!!!

 

New President Gabby

MAKE SAFETY A BUSINESS PRIORITY 

 

PBF’s workplace injury prevention programs are heart felt yet confronting; challenging individuals to consider the lifelong impacts an unsafe work choice can have on one’s future health, and those around them. 

Through our speaker’s stories, PBF is able to build greater awareness of the risk of serious injury in Australian workplaces as well as encourage personal responsibility for adopting safe work practices.  

Our presentations can be tailored to any business type and are available to large and small groups across Australia. 

We recently worked with Jim Stevenson Head of HSEQ at thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions (Australia) Pty Ltd, to deliver a series of presentations focusing on their safety message as part of their We Care Day 2019 program. 

Jim was pleased with the powerful message delivered commenting “We’ve received a considerable amount of positive feedback from management and employees alike.  Each session was well received, and the content of each presentation specifically targeted to the audience at each location”. 

Katie Stokes, PBF’s WA Business Development Manager, was pleased that we were able to help reinforce thyssenkrupp’s safety message, saying “We have the flexibility to adapt our programs and presentations to match specific organisational requirements.” 

PBF’s West Australian and Queensland teams worked together to deliver the presentations in Port Hedland, Perth, Brisbane & Melbourne. 

Jim was impressed with the quality of the presentations delivered stating “I can’t speak highly enough of the presenters, Nigel Barley and Paul Carson, who not only travelled around willingly and retold their personal experiences, but immediately engaged with our people on each site to reinforce our safety and welfare ideals.  These people and their everyday stories are so highly relatable. The impact on our employee’s safety behaviours was immediate.”
