Message from Simon Tengende, CEO of AWCI Australia |
|
Each conversation reinforces a recurring theme — questions around the advantages of forming a national model, and how we can elevate the respect for our industry. |
The answer is simple: for our industry to gain the respect it deserves; we must first respect it ourselves. And that begins with backing our national association. By nationalising, we are stepping into a new era of leadership that can both address our current challenges and lay the foundation for a brighter future. |
Drawing from my experience with Master Electricians Australia and the Australian Institute of Architects—both national bodies—I've seen firsthand the benefits a unified association brings. For those still wondering why a national model is essential, here’s a brief rundown of the Big 9 Competitive Advantages: |
|
As we are finalising the national benefits package for both members and corporate partners, we are diligently engaging to secure favourable transitions for all involved. We’ll continue to engage with members and partners, ensuring the benefits are well understood. I welcome anyone who wants to reach out for a chat as your insights are invaluable to us. |
I’m also excited to continue working with the dedicated AWCI Australia team, who will soon transition into national roles to serve our growing membership. Their energy and commitment are key as we build this stronger, unified association. |
October also marked National Safe Work Month—a time to reflect on the importance of a safety-first culture in your business. Let’s keep safety at the forefront as we move forward. |
Thank you for your continued support as we take these critical steps to strengthen our industry.
Warm regards, Your Industry. Your Association |
