* 23 November 2023 *
The annual Vasey RSL Care Saluting Excellence Staff Conference took place on Thursday 23 November with a record number of attendees.
We were treated to a wonderful program, led by our MC, Geoffrey Bardwell, which included Keynote Speaker, Sadhana Smiles, motivational speaker Tim Jack Adams, and from the Australian National Veteran Arts Museum (ANVAM), Tanja Johnston.
CEO Janna Voloshin told us about what empowers her, including her new friend, Golda, aka GPTChat.
Our residential team presented their video ‘I’ve got the power’ and three brave staff, Evalyn Kaaya, Roshani Rokka and Shelly Nayyar shared their personal stories of empowerment in our Empowerment Chat Show.
And without the support of our sponsors, none of this would have been possible.
