GAMAA LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME INDUCTION 2005
Meredith Darke, President of the Graphic Arts Merchants Association of Australia (GAMAA) welcomed this year’s scholarship recipients to the GAMAA Leadership programme at the induction session held on Friday 18th March in Melbourne.
In her address to the students she invited them to take full advantage of the experiences of past and current students in the programme to maximise the learning opportunities and the sharing of knowledge that make the GAMAA experience unique.
Awarded full scholarships are Graham Trickey (Hannan Print), Matthew Collins (Spicers Paper) and Gus Balbontin (Lonely Planet). On the strength of their applications, two part scholarships have been awarded to Jane Stokie (McPherson Media Group) and Kelly Bourke (SOS Print & Media Group).
The GAMAA Leadership Programme provides middle to senior managers currently working in the printing and graphic technologies industries with an opportunity to advance their leadership and business management skills.
A unique, and integral, element of the GAMAA programme is the residential workshops developed by GAMAA and presented by leading academics and business identities.
These workshops, which are open to the general industry also, are designed to expose participants to a range of leadership skills and processes that will challenge their working practices and provide them with the tools to develop strategies for the future.
The April workshop to be held 26th to 28th April in Melbourne is almost full, however there will be another workshop held in Sydney in August, dates to be released.
