September 17, 2008 crimson Uncategorized 0 comment

Contessa receptions and Ronald McDonald House Monash have been announced as the first nominees for the Monash Business Awards 2008/09 year at the September luncheon held at the Mulgrave Country Club on Wednesday 17 September. Approximately 170 business people attended the luncheon.

Bill Bourgazas, Proprietor and Caitlyn Barnes, Events Manager of Contessa Receptions accepted the nomination on behalf of Contessa Receptions. Mr Bourgazas outlined Contessa Receptions progress from when they took over the businesses 18 months ago. They are now actively involved in community projects as well as expanding their business into the corporate sector.

Jennifer North, Executive Officer of Ronald McDonald House Monash was also present at the lunch to accept the nomination. Ms North outlined the service Ronald McDonald House Monash provides for sick children and their families.

Stephen Bradford, Chief Executive Officer for the Port of Melbourne Corporation was the keynote speaker for the luncheon. He addressed the audience on issues arising from the bay dredging including the equipment being used to conduct this project and the environmental and economic impacts of the dredging. As the bay dredging has been an issue publicised in the media frequently, the audience were very receptive to Mr Bradford’s presentation.

The next event is the MBA Breakfast to be held on Wednesday 19 November 2008 at the Mulgrave Country Club, featuring keynote speaker Franz Madlener, Managing Director of Villa & Hut.
