We would like to extend a warm welcome to Laura Crncevic, our Superstar Administrative Assistant who joined us in June. Laura has been invaluable in keeping our office running smoothly and helping prepare us for events and other important deliverables. Thank You Laura for all your great work and good cheer!

We also welcome Lauren Harvey, our new marketing officer who has taken over from Bianca D'Rosario. Lauren previously worked with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and is a bit of a social media whiz. We look forward to working with her to spread the word about CONTACT Canberra.

 

Community News

Our next newsletter will be coming out in December 2014 and we want to include information from the community.

If your organisation has a new service, activity or program and you would like help to spread the word, then email your proposed content to lauren@contactcanberra.org.au by Friday 14th of November and we will do our best to include it in the next edition.
