On Tuesday November 10, 2015 The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award- Australia held its inaugural NSW Alumni networking function. The event was held at the residence of Award Ambassadors Quintin & Donella Freeman in Potts Point and provided the opportunity for Alumni, Award Ambassadors and National Board members to network and reconnect with the Award.
