Change of Breakfast speaker - Conference
Due to rugby commitments Jorja Miller is no longer able to be our Guest Speaker at the Sunday morning Breakfast session at conference.
We are fortunate that Dame Farah Palmer has accepted an invitation and is able to join us as our Guest Speaker.
Farah has a PHD in Sport Sociology and played and captained the Black Ferns to 3 Rugby World Cup victories. Farah also was a Highland Dancer from age 5 to 11 in Pio Pio!
Whilst we are disappointed that Jorja can no longer join us we look forward to welcoming Farah to our breakfast session.
