NAIDOC Week 2018

What a week! Willyama had the great pleasure of being the major sponsors of the ACT NAIDOC week and what a week it was. 

What a week! Willyama had the great pleasure of being the major sponsor of the ACT NAIDOC week. What a week it was. The week started with the NAIDOC Ball on Saturday night,  with Willyama giving the closing address and awarding the major award. NAIDOC Person of the year, with Julie Tongs, CEO of Winnunga Nimmityjah Aboriginal Health Service, a well-deserved recipient.

The ball was followed up by the NAIDOC Family Day on Sunday.  The rest of the week was filled with mainly sporting events, including Touch footy, golf and darts.  The main formal event for the rest of the week was a reception hosted by the Governor General for the award winners and Willyama as the primary sponsor.

William gave the Acknowledge of Country and was MC for the proceedings as he has been working with the Governor General on a RAP for several years.  His Excellency was Kieran’s Brigade Commander in 1993 and then Division Commander in the late ’90s, so a little bit of ‘remember when’ was played.  All in all, a great week!
