Meet And Mingle With Reef Catchments

The Reef Catchments team hosted their annual Meet and Mingle morning at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre earlier this week, the event bringing together over 40 staff, board members, stakeholders and partners from the community.

Robert Congoo, Project Officer Traditional Engagement conducted a Welcome to Country smoking ceremony with Reef Catchments CEO, Katrina Dent and Chair, Julie Boyd also present on the day.

“It is important to develop strong relationships with our stakeholders and the community,” explained Reef Catchments Senior Communications and Media Office, Leonie Cridland.

“It was wonderful to bring everyone together to meet each other and to thank them.”

As a regional organisation Reef Catchments works closely with community groups, government agencies, local businesses, Traditional Owners and other community members to implement a range of activities aimed at sustaining, protecting and improving the local environment.  

The event brought together this network of community groups and individuals to celebrate achievements, share ideas and look forward to the upcoming year.

Celebrating their 21st year, Reef Catchments were able to use this event to enjoy some birthday festivities, reflect on progress and changes that have occurred over the years.
