On Monday the 2nd of March a mix of QLD Award Alumni, Award Ambassadors and Award staff including the CEO and Chairman of the Friends Board all attended a Duke of Ed Alumni Networking Night. The event was hosted by Award Ambassador Elizabeth Gilchrist AM and her husband Peter Gilchrist.
It was a great chance for Alumni to meet each other as well as meet members of the Board, The CEO and Award Staff from both the National Office and from the QLD office.
The networking night was filled with stories of Adventurous Journeys, delicious food and drinks, talk of what year people completed their Award and what they are up to now.
Thank you to everyone who came and for the Gilchrists for hosting such a lovely night.
