Members and guests enjoying our annual bowls night in February before lockdown!
President’s Report Greetings from the comfy confines of my home! I never expected I would get the full work from home experience this year. I think after a few weeks, I am getting the hang of it! The last few months have seen things change quite rapidly and after reading the last report to this one, a lot has changed. First, I hope you are all ok, during these challenging times I encourage everyone to lean on their networks and colleagues in the AICM for any help and assistance. Personally, managing a team remotely has been challenging, but through sharing with others, the task seems a lot more manageable. As councilors we are here for this very task, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Between the last magazine and today, we did manage to have a barefoot bowls event which was a great success, we played bowls and got the opportunity to meet new members and catch up with a few we hadn’t seen in months. A big thank you to our event sponsors SLF lawyers and to the council who did all the running around to make this a very enjoyable event. Due to our current circumstances, events for the foreseeable future will be virtual in nature and the AICM will be rolling out a series of webinars to help keep us informed in these ever-changing times. We have already had a few with great attendance and if you haven’t joined in on one, please do. Also be aware that the Young Credit Professional Awards will still be going ahead, and I encourage members who are eligible to step forward and get involved. If you are not eligible and 52

know someone who is, you can always nominate and encourage them to apply. I also wanted to take the time to announce that Natalia Mizerski has stepped down from council as she has taken on a new role. I would like to congratulate her and thank her for her contribution. Other than that, all other councilors are still working hard to provide value where possible and if you are interested in joining council, we do have spots available for people with varying interests and availability. Please don’t hesitate to speak to anyone on council for more information. Lastly, I wanted to thank all of our members who contribute to this amazing community of professionals and to our supporters, state and national sponsors. Without your support, we would not be able to drive the goals of the AICM. We look forward to working together into the foreseeable future. – Roger Masamvu MICM CCE Queensland Division President
