It is that special time of the year again with Christmas looming (where did the year go?) and a good time to get a note out to you all to wish you a happy and safe Christmas and New Year. We hope you have all had a great productive year and are looking forward to the challenges in 2019. PLA SA/NT has had some changes over the year with a new Executive Officer (Allison Bretones) and three new members being welcomed onto our Regional Council (Julia Wallace, Stacey Dutton and Rick Gower). The President and Regional Council members would like to thank Allison for her dedication and ability to strengthen the role and professionalism of PLA SA/NT. It is a great pleasure to work with you Allison and your knowledge of the industry and commitment is very much appreciated.
