Message from the President - September 2025

As our Board calendar runs March to February, it’s hard to believe we have already hit the halfway mark.

I had a moment to reflect on this recently as we farewelled our Events Co-Chair, Rachelle Bryant, who is heading off on maternity leave. Reflecting on Rachelle’s impact (which has been immense) reminded me just how much we’ve achieved as a chapter this year. And the best part? We’re not finished yet.

We have two signature IABC Victoria events still to come, featuring top-tier speakers, exceptional networking, and that unique IABC spirit and hospitality. Tickets are selling well, and we’d love to see you there.
👉 All welcome, with free tickets for IABC Victoria members. Details here.

With Rachelle stepping back to focus on the all-important role of parenthood, we’ll be commencing a board recruitment campaign towards the end of the year. If you’re curious about the role or about joining the Board more broadly, I encourage you to:

• Reach out early to me (president@iabcvic.com.au) or to our VP, Camille Hanton (vicepresident@iabcvic.com.au)

• Join us at our upcoming events to experience first-hand the breadth of what we do as a Board.

We can’t wait to see you out in force over the coming months.

Let’s finish the year with strength and optimism.
