Speaking about the event, Anne McCormack, Participation Manager with the CGI said: “This is an excellent opportunity for club volunteers and staff to come together, share experiences and learn from some of the leading experts in the industry. I would encourage anyone involved in club committees, strategy planning or on communications or marketing sub-committees to get involved and come along”.
