“Hi Vicki!
Firstly thank you for your role in organising a fantastic symposia, rich in art and ideas and very stimulating conversation! I urge you to continue this fantastic work for the benefit of so many.
Secondly, I hear that the role of ADA trust board chair is to become vacant. May I, as a list member, nominate Ted Whitaker and Birgit Bachelor as co-chairs? I believe between them they will bring leadership and energy to the trust as a collaborating duo, understanding younger markets, regional, national and international perspectives.
Love to all
