Northern Group Early Career Support Fund
On Tuesday 24 July, Townsville SSSI members held their regular town group meeting to discuss topical issues of the region and network with colleagues from across the profession. At this meeting, they also presented certificates to the three local young professionals who were the recipients of the Northern Group Early Career Support Fund – Vaughn Golding, Jake Linnett and Mitchell Whittington.
These worthy winners receive $500 each to assist them in travelling to Brisbane to attend their residential school lectures as part of their Bachelor Degrees.
