2013 Scholarship Program Announced

Note from the Chairman

Issue 1 June 2013 NewsletterAdvancing corrosion

mitigation through education

The purpose of the Forum is to assist younger members of the industries that ACA serves to develop skills which will assist in their personal and professional development. By providing financial support, ACA Foundation Ltd. is leading the way in positively contributing to the work and personal lives of those who are likely to advance to senior positions in the industry in the future.

The Foundation provided principal funding support for what is rapidly becoming one of the leading personal and professional development events

in the corrosion related industries. Further support for the Forum was also received from ACA and its South Australia Branch.

The 21 young men and women listed below were successful in securing delegate spaces on the program. Competitive applications were received from all parts of Australia and New Zealand. As in 2012, the 2013 Forum was oversubscribed with substantially more applications received than there were places available.

Dean Wall, ACA Foundation Ltd. Chairman who participated in the program and presented on mentoring, said “the Forum is very popular with younger members of the industry. Their employers and direct managers value the work which ACA is doing in this area with support from the Foundation”.

ACA Foundation Ltd. funds the accommodation, travel, meals, entertainment and two days of professionally facilitated development activities for all Forum participants.

Geoffrey Witherow from Changing Organisations facilitated the Forum for the second year in a row. Geoffrey’s highly developed skills and passion for working with young people so that they may fully reach their potential was well received by all Forum participants – delegates and guest presenters alike.

Guest presenters for the 2013 Forum included Dean Wall from Jotun Australia, Paul Vince from SA Water, Kingsley Brown from AECOM and Dean Ferguson from GHD.

Introducing the ACA Foundation Ltd. Centurions

made the following comment on the Forum. “I attended the FLF with the intention to network and learn a bit about public speaking. It was so much more than that... The Forum provided us with a mentoring opportunity with experienced professionals. They helped us identify areas for professional and personal development, for instance how important it is to be ourselves, how to deal with different personalities in the workplace and coping mechanisms in stressful situations. We also had lots of fun as we learnt about public speaking. Most importantly, I made genuine friends and am looking forward to the next event just to catch up with everyone! I can safely say on behalf of all attendees thank you so much to the ACA Foundation Ltd and the ACA for organising this forum.”

Entries for the 2014 Future Leaders Forum will be open in October 2013.
