Broad range of topics and deep discussion, looking forward to seeing @SMAANZBoard pillars develop and evolve over the next 18 months!
This week the @SMAANZBoard met in Melbourne ahead of the upcoming #SMAANZMidYearHDR event at @RMIT today. We have several pillars that the Board are focusing on developing over the next 2 years and look forward to sharing more updates with our community soon ✨
