who worked alongside Pam at the Conference registration desk, assisted the session chairs and ensured that delegates found their intended sessions. Without you the Conference would not run as smoothly so we really appreciate all your time and effort. I would like to extend a very big thank you to the Board of Speech Pathology Australia and National Office staff for their ongoing support and advice during the Conference planning period. Making Waves also would not have come to fruition without the dynamic Pamela Richards, National Conference Manager. Pam is the backbone to the Conference, and managed the Conference planning process with extraordinary organisation, poise and good humour. Her leadership and extensive experience were essential in bringing the Conference together, including every last phone call, brainstorm and decision that was happening behind the scenes! The Conference Planning Committee really appreciated Pam’s support every step of the way, and thoroughly enjoyed her involvement with the team. The CPC would also like to thank Kobi Davis, an event management student from Victoria University, who worked with Pam leading up to and during the Conference, she was a great asset and did a fantastic job.
