Circular 33/23 ‘Ask ANZAC House’
The next ‘Ask ANZAC House’ session will take place on Wednesday 17 May from 6pm to 7pm.
‘Ask ANZAC House’ enables the staff at ANZAC House to fulfil its primary objective of serving and supporting its members. Providing accurate, relevant and timely information is essential to achieving this and ANZAC House is committed to providing complete transparency in all communications.
What is ‘Ask ANZAC House’?
‘Ask ANZAC House’ is a new communications channel; a monthly, virtual Q&A forum hosted by The President, CEO, and Leadership Team.
What is the purpose of the event?
‘Ask ANZAC House’ is a forum for all RSL NSW members to ask the President, Chief Executive Officer, our Leadership Team: Chief Financial Officer, State Secretary, Head of Legal and Compliance, Head of Communications, Marketing & Membership, and Head of Veterans’ Policy & Program Delivery questions about the RSL NSW Strategic Plan, all sub-Branch related matters, or anything pertaining to RSL NSW membership.
Who will and can attend?
The President, CEO and Leadership Team (or delegates) will be present to share key information with any RSL NSW member who wishes to attend. District Council delegates and sub-Branch Office Bearers are particularly encouraged to attend.
When will the meetings take place?
The meetings will be held each month and the time will alternate between a lunch and evening session in an effort to accommodate as many members as possible.
