"I've had many opportunities to rejoice in client achievements, celebrate community outcomes and honour successful staff in all these areas. Yet one of the most poignant moments of my career was as the Recovery Manager for communities affected by the Black Saturday bushfires. Gazing at the remains of a beloved garden, a community member looked up and said: "It will grow again. We will grow again." Such resilience, optimism and strength of community spirit continues to remind me about why I choose to work in this field.
