It really has been a pleasure working with you and the impact of your leadership was so clearly demonstrated at our PPEL event last week. You have made a significant contribution to the parenting agenda across the region and I know that you have left a secure legacy. It has not always been an easy journey and your patience, professionalism and judgement have been exemplary.
