In The Loop |
 On the 28th of March 2011 the AYMN officially welcomed our newest Steering Committee Member - Sue Scheinpflug.
Sue is the CEO of United Synergies Ltd, a not-for-profit based on the Sunshine Coast, servicing regional communities in South East Queensland, as well as communities in North Brisbane, Cairns, Canberra, Tasmania and north-west Western Australia. Sue has worked across a range of industries, in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.
In 2009 Sue and the achievements of United Synergies were recognised when she was awarded the 2009 Telstra Queensland Businesswoman of the Year and the Sunshine Coast Business Women's Network professional Business Woman of the Year awards.
We are very excited to welcome Sue to the team.
Over the coming months there will be more changes to the AYMN Steering Committee so keep an eye on the Newsletter, Facebook and Twitter to see how you can be involved in the new structure later in the year. |

Mentoring Video
| Check out the new video on our website - which has been created by United Synergies.
The creation process provided an opportunity for at risk young people to be exposed to the experience of film making and working with other talented young students at Griffith University Film School. It was also an opportunity to demonstrate to the existing mentors how much they are valued by United Synergies.

This video is also a great example of how to promote your program and mentoring to the wider community. Do you have a video you wish to share? Contact us if you want your video on our website.
