Her work has had a great impact over many years, and she continues to be a champion for the industry; dedicating her time, sharing her experience and expertise, and ensuring our Members are recognised for all the work they do. I am so pleased Felicity has been recognised by her industry peers through this major award,” said Ms DiMascio.
