On learning of their success, each applicant was thrilled. Here’s what they had to say:

Adrian Sheedy (pictured right): “I’m looking forward to the challenges the programme offers in leadership and eventually implementing these skill sets into an ever-changing business landscape. It is also a wonderful chance to forge some strong friendships over the term of the programme and furthermore grow as an individual.”

Erin Mercieca: “The GAMAA workshops I have attended have been both beneficial in my working and social life. I am keen to grow in the printing industry and wish to learn in all aspects. I wish to thank the GAMAA members for their support and belief in me to give me this opportunity.”

Mark George: “All my working life I’ve looked at what the next day would bring, who I’d meet, what I’d learn and who would learn from me. GAMAA’s Leadership Programme brings together all these aspects, and fits perfectly with my future goals.”

Matt McRobert (pictured right): “I began attending GAMAA workshops two years ago. Being a GAMAA scholar for 2010 means I will be able to continue the journey of personal and professional growth in an environment that is challenging, motivating, at times confronting but always rewarding.”
