2009 AGM Luncheon
Our 2009 GIAV Luncheon, following the AGM, was particularly well attended. Our speaker for our AGM luncheon was a member of Victoria Police for over 30 years, 26 of those years as a Detective at all ranks. Jim was a member of Victoria Police for over 30 years, 26 of those years as a Detective at all ranks. He retired in 2007 as a Detective Inspector to take up a national security role in private enterprise. In 2007 he was awarded the 3AW Victorian Policeman of the year for various successful homicide investigations and the dismantling of the Mokbel criminal organisation which culminated in the arrest and extradition of Antonious Mokbel from Athens Greece. Jim spoke on lessons for business, focussing on • Decision Making in Critical Times • Vision and Planning • Media Management • Perserverance • Getting the Most From Your Team • The Importance of Communication

Approximately 100 people attended the luncheon

GIAV Ties
I have been able to locate more stock of the popular GIAV ties. These were originally priced at $25 each but as we are short of space we need to clear them. Make me an offer. With the cooler weather approaching, and as we are leading into the season for Industry dinners , this is an ideal opportunity to promote your Association, and a bargain not to be missed.
