Our focus for the year centres on projects we have continued to refine and develop over the years –
- Mentoring
- Junior Leadership
- Heritage assessment and preservation
These projects are proceeding well.
In addition, we are assisting with the long-awaited biography of Lou Barberis, and are delighted to let you know that the initial Tribute Booklet has been printed.
The School aims to embed a culture of Innovation and Entrepreneurialism. We are supporting this initiative through our network of expertise across Business, Academia and the Professions.
The Forums we conduct in April and September help us to redefine our contribution, encourage us to examine our membership base and, most importantly, demand that we improve our communication with you. The success of these Forums relies on your input. Please support them.
All of these programs draw heavily on your Committee, and on the many volunteers from across the Old Boy network. These are busy people but they get the job done. Their achievements inspire me.
I commend the work of the GM&B to you all, and wish you well for 2018.
