Today’s Member Forum was an absolute success, and we couldn’t be more grateful to each and every one of our members for their active participation and invaluable contributions. The insights, experiences, and enthusiasm truly made today’s event a success. Starting with a warm welcome from our Chairman, Ross Fowler and our CEO, Andrew Armitstead providing an overview of the Mutual’s success over the past year and what lies ahead, a shoutout goes to Stephen Shepherd for his exceptional facilitation. His expertise and dedication ensured that the Forum ran smoothly and efficiently, allowing for engaging discussions and fruitful exchanges. Thank you for your outstanding support and guidance throughout the event. Here are some highlights from today’s event that we couldn’t wait to share: **Industry Insight**: We were honoured to have David Burroughs of Australian Psychological Services who shared his invaluable insights on psychosocial hazards. **Interactive Cyber Simulation Game**: Rinske Geerlings (MBCI COBIT ISO22301 ISO31000) and Heidi Chappelow of Business As Usual sparked strategic thinking, quick decision making, and the teamwork truly showcased the best of our community. It was exhilarating to witness the innovative approaches to tackling cyber threats head on. **Engaging Networking Sessions**: It was fantastic to witness our members connecting, exchanging ideas, and forging new partnerships. The enthusiasm for collaboration is truly commendable. **Special Recognition**: We were thrilled to announce the induction of our esteemed retired actuary, David Minty, to the CivicRisk Mutual Honour Roll. His dedication and expertise has been invaluable to our organisation. This honour is a testament to his outstanding contributions and lasting impact. Congratulations, David! We’re continuously inspired by the passion and commitment of our members, and today reaffirmed just how much we can achieve together. Here’s to many more collaborations and impactful moments ahead. Thank you all once again for making today’s conference truly unforgettable. #MemberForum #MemberEngagement #Collaboration #Networking #LocalGovernmentPartnerships #Recognition #PsychosocialHazards #CyberSimulation
