FROM working in submarines to the Hawk lead in fighter and joining us from a firing range to moving to a new house to maternity leave, our finalists told their stories and shared their journeys.
In a first for the event, it was completely online this year. With finalists from almost every state and territory repre- sented, finalists were able to tell their stories in their own words sharing their experiences with everyone. “I would also like to thank our judges,” ADM’s Managing Director Kath- erine Ziesing said at live event. “Without their willingness to give up their time and expertise these awards would not be possible. We aim to have a diverse judging panel that re- flects our nominations. Thank you again for efforts in help- ing ADM bring together the best awards program we can.”
This year’s Hall of Fame inductee is Dr Karen Stanton, the owner and director of Heat Treatment Australia (HTA)
