PMOZ 2009 will be held at the Australian National Convention Centre, Canberra, from the 10th to 12th August. Co-located with ISSEC (Improving Systems Software Engineering Conference) and incorporating the PMI Australia National Conference, delegates and speakers can access two conference programs in the same registration fee.
 
 
PMOZ is Australia's leading annual Portfolio, Program and Project Management Conference and is an integral part of the Project Management calendar, offering long term commitment to the advancement of the profession and industry with support from all sectors - ICT, Business, Engineering, Construction and Academia.
 
 
 
The call for papers is seeking high quality presentations focusing on a sustainable future and the role of project management in creating this, as well as the sustainability of the project management profession during this time of rapid change. PMOZ 2009 will provide a valuable opportunity for project management practitioners, researchers and academics to share and explore their ideas and approaches with their peers.

Djarragun College Volunteers

Dear Colleague,
 

I am writing to tell you about an unusual but exciting volunteer project that Proton is involved in on Cape York in Far North Queensland, and to see if you might know anyone who would be interested in taking on a truly unique challenge. This opportunity has come to light through Proton's growing involvement with IEP (Indigenous Enterprise Partnerships). IEP facilitates corporate and philanthropic support of indigenous communities in Cape York, primarily in partnership with Cape York Partnerships. IEP and Cape York Partnerships form an important part of Proton's Community Support Program which offers direct and practical pro bono assistance to worthwhile Australian initiatives.


Djarragun College is establishing a new foster centre for children who are relocating from a number of remote communities on Cape York. The new centre will be built on land adjoining the current College campus in Cairns, and will accommodate up to 50 children.
 
 
Please drop me a line if you would like to know more about indigenous programs on the Cape or Proton's involvement with these programs.
Kind regards,
 
Peter
