President’s report

We are already three months into 2023 and it’s not slowing down! Everyone I talk to is busier than ever and just like everyone else, the AICM is also getting busier. In QLD we have already held two events this year and we have our third event next month (National Risk Seminar.)

We kicked off the year with our Social Trivia event in February, held at the Caxton, which was a fun event for our members, even if you go home with a win or a loss, a good time is always had.

Then in March we heard from Emily Hayward at Deloitte Access Economics to hear what the year ahead could possibly look like for us given the current state of Australia with rising interest rates, inflation and cost of living.

One of biggest events is coming up later this year, our Young Credit Professional of the Year awards. I would encourage all our members to tap into their network to encourage our young credit professionals to apply for this years YCP award with registrations now open and due to close the first week of June. It’s a fantastic opportunity not be passed up.
