It was amazing that such a wide range of views were covered in such a short space of time.  What was evident from the speakers was both the range of skills, experiences, values and outlook they all possessed.

 The second day began early with a private tour behind the scenes at Parliament House including Senator Day’s office and suite of facilities.  So much to see in such a short time but in a word, suffice to say, how magnificent Parliament House is and how much symbolism!  The remainder of the day was absorbed with a business forum.

It was a successful two-day event.  It had a significant impact on those present.  How amazing to witness a person’s life commitment being achieved and the major role we had played in that journey
