President’s Report
The South Australian participation in the webinars has been terrific. A special thanks to Trevor Goodwin and Gail Growder for their valuable contributions to the workshops. In these turbulent political times, we in the SA Division are grateful for the positive steps that we have seen towards re-building our vibrant community from the AFL season opening, the allowance for regional travel and the re-opening of our bars and restaurants. I hope to see everyone supporting our local businesses to help them get back on their feet, and look forward to hopefully, when safety permits, our next AICM face-to-face event. Due to my growing family commitments, this will be my last report as SA Division President. I welcome the incoming SA President to oversee the next exciting era with the economy reopening at last.
Having weathered the storm of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are pleased to see that South Australia appears to be coming out on the other side of these difficult times. With more workplaces returning to work in-office, it appears as though the credit industry may be busier than ever in the upcoming months. Accordingly, it is pleasing that so many members have taken the initiative to reap the benefits of the online workshops that the AICM has offered during the isolation period. Namely, I have heard glowing reviews from members who attended Linda Murray’s leadership workshop, from the Athena Leadership Academy. Future and current credit leaders were provided with useful tools relating to resilience, stress management and team building. We look forward to future partnership with the Athena Leadership Academy. 64
